It’s time to celebrate how lives are changing! It’s International Assistance Dog Week and we’re featuring Mary-Jo and her dog Scramble, who she lovingly calls “Angel” 🦮❤️ This special week honours the incredible assistance dogs and their dedicated trainers who have transformed countless lives worldwide. We’ve witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact an assistance dog can have. As you can see, PADS dogs are more than just companions—they're essential partners in everyday life. PADS assistance dogs do everything from retrieving medication to helping wheelchair users, supporting victims of crime, and assisting first responders with PTSD. Reality is, though, the need is overwhelming. Right now more than 530 people are waiting to be paired with a life-changing PADS assistance dog. We can and must do more. Give now and your donation will be matched by our friend George Prevost to help twice as many people, like Mary-Jo. Your generosity helps train these incredible puppies and matches them with those who need them most. Together, we can make a difference! https://lnkd.in/gEZxe3Kt #IADW2024 #PADSDogs #LifeChangingGifts
