Our mission at NEADS (National Education Assistance Dog Services) is to provide independence for people who are deaf or disabled through the use of canine assistance.
As a non-profit organization, we train the best service dogs in the country and have created over 1,300 assistance dog teams since our beginning in 1976.
About Our Dogs
We train a wide variety of breeds and mixed breeds of dogs to help people live more independently. Most hearing dogs are rescued from animal shelters. Most service dogs are donated by breeders throughout the country, and most are Golden or Labrador retrievers, although many other breeds are also suitable. Any dog "with the right stuff" can partner with a person to provide independence and companionship by reducing physical and social barriers.

About The 2009 Holiday Matching Gift Campaign
You can help us turn $2,000 into $4,000 or more by participating in this campaign.
A generous couple in California has pledged a $2,000 gift as long as we can match it by the end of this year.
Please help us. Create your own fundraising page, raise at least $25.00 by December 31, 2009, and your name will be entered into a drawing to win an iPod.
The key to your success and ours will be for you to send a personal message and a link to your fundraising page in two or more email waves to your friends, family and colleagues. We've found that two or more waves make a powerful difference. Furthermore, be creative with where you list your fundraising page URL. Your Facebook profile would be a great addition.
Thank you, and good luck. We greatly appreciate your help.
