The Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS) is experiencing a surge in demand for assistance dogs, leaving many people on a long waitlist.
The charity is struggling to keep up with the increasing costs of training and caring for the dogs, making it harder to match dogs with those who need them.
PADS is asking for donations to help shorten the waitlist and continue providing assistance dogs to people with disabilities.
With the help of donations, PADS hopes to reduce the wait time for an assistance dog from several years to a quicker timeframe.
