To facilitate communication there is a quarterly newsletter. It contains the following: announcing proposed and in-progress research projects; listing and review of canid literature and references; a question answer section; a listing of dogs/puppies needing "rescue"  or available from members; articles about specific breeds. A members list is distributed so individuals can contact those with similar interests. As PADS grows it will be able to offer additional benefits.

              To support the newsletter and other PADS mailings there will be a small membership fee. It has been suggested that a reasonable initial yearly donation would be $10.00 (U.S. dollars) for North American members and $15.00 (U.S. dollars) for members from other areas. If you would like to join PADS click here and download our application and mail it with a check or money order payable to PADS. There is also a space on the form to check if you do not wish to join at this time but have information you would be willing to share and would like to be included in the next mailing.

                 If you know of others who might be interested in this organization, please give them a copy of this page and membership application  or submit to us their name and contact information so we may contact them.
