December 19, 2007 - PADS is a registered charity which helps dogs by supporting and advising their owners. The PADS Code of Caring covers all aspects of dog ownership from whether you can offer a suitable home to a dog and preparing a safe environment for a new puppy, to caring for an older dog. PADS also publishes a series of factsheets which look at specific problems dog owners might face – from settling your new puppy at night to dealing with common behavioural problems.
PADS first published their Code of Caring twenty years ago, and since then it has been used to offer practical and useful advice to thousands of dog owners. However, although the content has been kept up to date, the look of the leaflets has remained much the same.
“Following an update of our website, www.padsonline.org, last year, we decided it was time for the leaflets and factsheets to have a face lift too,” said Debbie Waller, Hon Chairman of PADS. “We chose Valentine’s Day to launch them because we know that spring is a popular time for people to begin thinking about buying or adopting a new dog for the family.”
“Asking for free copies of these leaflets would be a sensible first step towards that.”
The leaflets are already used by many individuals and organisations throughout the UK, finding their way into vets’ waiting rooms, breeders' puppy folders and training clubs' welcome packs.
PADS expects more clubs and organisations to use the leaflets now that they have been re-designed to appeal to modern dog owners.
Anyone wanting more information or copies of the leaflets and factsheets should contact PADS by
· emailing pads ( @ ) padsonline dot org
· phoning Debbie on 01977 678593
· sending an sae to PADS, 45B Ashgap Lane, Normanton, WF6 2DT.
The leaflets are provided free of charge although PADS is a very small charity and appreciates some help with P&P if clubs or businesses want to order large numbers.
