VIK9 Has a New Name — West Coast Service Dogs Society

Hi everyone

We have some exciting news to share.

After much reflection and with great enthusiasm, we are proud to announce that VIK9 has a new name:

✨ West Coast Service Dogs Society ✨

This isn’t just a new name — it’s a reflection of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed. As our organization has grown and evolved, we felt it was time for our identity to grow with us. Our new name better represents the breadth of our community, the scope of our work, and our commitment to the people and dogs we serve across the West Coast.

What’s staying the same:

• Our mission to empower people through canine assistance

• Our dedicated team and certified trainers

• Our commitment to you and your dog

• Our email: info@vik9.ca (updated contact details coming soon)

What’s new:

• Our name — West Coast Service Dogs Society

• Our logo — a fresh identity that reflects our growth and new direction

• A renewed energy and focus as we step into this next chapter together

We are so grateful for the support you’ve shown us and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

With gratitude,

The West Coast Service Dogs Society Team
(formerly VIK9)
