NEADS (National Education for Assistance Dog Services, also known as Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 1976 and is based in Princeton, Massachusetts.

Tax ID # 23-7281887.
Accredited by Assistance Dogs International, the internationally recognized governing body that establishes industry standards and practices, NEADS offers a wide spectrum of Assistance Dog services, including:
Our hearing dogs are specially trained to alert human partners to the source of a sound.
Our Canines for Combat Veterans program is designed to help the growing population of wounded veterans.
Our service dogs assist people by performing everyday tasks like picking up dropped items, opening doors, and more.
Our uniquely trained dogs engage and inspire a practitioner's community.
Service dogs for children perform many of the same tasks they can for adults, and offer our younger clients greater independence.
