Foundations for the Future
Our vision for the Foundations for the Future initiative was to build a campus where every stage of a Service Dog’s life — from birth through training and placement — could be supported with world-class facilities. Today, our Princeton campus is home to a complete ecosystem of purpose-built spaces, each one designed to help us breed, raise, and train Service Dogs for the people who need them most.

Dr. Dennis J. Ovitsky Veterinary Care Fund
The Dr. Dennis J. Ovitsky Veterinary Care Fund was established in Dr. Ovitsky’s memory by his family upon his passing in 2008 for the purpose of treating service dogs in our training program with severe or unusual medical conditions.*
Donate to this fund to help ensure that we can continue to provide prompt and effective medical treatment to our Service Dogs who need additional levels of care.
*On occasion dogs in our training program present with severe or unusual medical conditions, and NEADS uses this fund to treat and care for them. Once brought back to good health, these dogs are then adopted out as Furloughed Favorites.
