Puppy Program overview

Monty and Sarah

The puppy program is an integral part of NEADS. No matter which future career a pup may have, a solid foundation with socialization and training is crucial to its success as an assistance dog.

We rely on the generosity of our many volunteers in the puppy program. Our volunteer corps is made up of breeders who donate puppies, veterinarians, obedience instructors and groomers who donate services, Early Learning Center (ELC) volunteers who donate their time, and puppy raisers who donate their time, energy, and love.
