Graduation

At NEADS, we celebrate the partnership between a client and his or her Service Dog at graduation.

Every year, we take time out to honor our most recent Service Dog teams. Graduation allow family, friends and the general public to hear firsthand from our clients how a NEADS dog has changed their life. We also like to recognize the many people who are involved in the breeding, training, and placement of our dogs: staff, volunteers, donors, and other supporters.

Every year, we also present the NEADS Spirit Award. The NEADS Spirit Award is given annually to a volunteer or group of volunteers who passionately excude the energy, values, and commitment to our mission over an extended period of time.
