NEADS Assistance Dogs, Service Dogs, Hearing dogs

Thank you to all who donated in last year’s workplace campaigns to help us place assistance dogs. A new campaign season is about to begin. Please consider giving again to NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans to continue helping people with physical disabilities.

NEADS (Dogs For Deaf and Disabled Americans), of Princeton, MA, is a non-profit organization, organized under section 501c (3) of the IRS code. NEADS was established in1976 to train and provide independence to people who are deaf or physically disabled through the use of canine assistance. These assistance dogs become an extension of their owners and bring security, freedom, independence and relief from social isolation to their human partners.

NEADS national headquarters is located in Princeton, MA, a rural setting close to Worcester in Central Massachusetts. NEADS is the oldest continuing hearing dog program in the country and the only program of its kind in New England, as well as one of the country's largest.

NEADS has trained well over 1300 assistance dog teams from all states since 1976. Each year we train over 50 teams and hold three heartwarming and inspirational graduation ceremonies (spring, summer and fall) to mark the occasions. Among the types of dogs trained are: hearing, service, social, specialty, service dogs for the classroom, ministry, therapy and walker dogs.
