A B.C. guide dog program that calls itself a "victim of its own success" is looking for temporary homes for 13 puppies.

The Pacific Assistance Dog Society is overwhelmed with Labrador retriever pups after it had a 100 per cent breeding success rate instead of its usual 50 to 75.

"It was a big success and we're thrilled but now we have more puppies than we do have people to care for them," PADS spokesperson Gail Ferrier told CTV News.

The young puppies, destined to be placed with a person with disabilities once they're mature enough, need to find homes in the next two weeks. The litter is made up of Golden Retrievers, a few blacks and a few chocolates.

Ferrier said the organization is looking for people who loves dogs and can make a 10 to 12 month commitment to care for the animals.

"It's pretty much a 24-7 job," she said. "The puppies aren't allowed to be on their own more than four hours at a time. So the fosters need the cooperation of their work and their schools."

Foster parents are asked to take the pups wherever they go, so the dogs get used to a variety of social environments. The more varied the better.

"Whatever you do, whatever your lifestyle is, there's probably a client out there who has a similar lifestyle and the puppy you raise will be perfect for," Ferrier said.

Foster parents must also attend a two hour class at its facility every week for the dogs to learn new skills.

More than 50 per cent of the puppies that graduate from the PADS program are placed with a disabled person. Those who don't make the cut often go to on to work with police or are adopted by families who have special needs children.

Ferrier said the dogs make a tremendous difference in the lives of disabled people, especially their clients in wheelchairs.

"In a chair people avoid looking at you. They don't want to talk to you. You get a dog and all of a sudden people are interested," she said.

"The dogs can open doors for them literally but it opens up a whole new spectrum for the people."
