Your donations nurtures a future full of possibility.
This campaign is inspired by Val Bouey, PADS Client Care Field Representative, and PADS Vader, Val's PTSD Service Dog. Vader's steady, grounding presence softens Val's edges as he walks with her through each day.
This tribute holds a special place in Val’s heart, as it is dedicated to the loving memory of her mother, Rose. Rose witnessed firsthand the comfort and strength that PADS Vader brought into Val’s life, and became a quiet yet passionate supporter of our PTSD Program.
To honour her mother’s legacy, Val is generously matching all donations (up to $20K) made until National PTSD Awareness Day on June 27, 2025.
Funds will support the placement of more PTSD Dogs and the third annual PADS PTSD Honour Ranch Retreat, taking place in 2026.
With Val's support, your gift will go twice as far bringing even more hope, healing, and connection to those who have served us.
Your generosity is the water and sunshine that helps our mission grow, nurturing strong roots, gentle paws, and a future full of possibility.
