Message from the Chair

Angela Arra

The Canadian Intervention and Assistance Dogs (CIAD) is a not-for-profit society that aims to pair veterans and first responders with service dogs as part of their healing and treatment plan.

CIAD was formed to help to bridge the gap between the need for high caliber service dogs and the low supply.  We know that to produce a top quality service dog, it takes time and dedication.
