At Pawsitive Perspectives Assistance Dogs (PawPADs), we believe a dog’s presence changes everything.
It’s more than companionship — it’s confidence, independence, and connection. It’s the moment someone realizes they’re not alone, that they have a partner who can make their life easier.
Ganther, Senior Resource Dog
Ganther’s journey to becoming a Senior Resource Dog was the result of countless hours of training and dedication from many of our incredible ADEPT interns, staff, and volunteers over his first few years. The wonderful foundation they provided combined with Ganther’s natural ability and instinct to connect with people made him the perfect fit for his role.Â
