Puppy Raising the NEADS Way: Support Makes the Difference
NEADS volunteer Puppy Raisers play a vital role in raising future Service Dogs by providing loving homes and crucial socialization for our dogs in training. While the joy of caring for a cuddly, playful puppy is undeniable, the challenges of puppy raising are all too real. To ease some of these challenges, NEADS offers a variety of resources and support throughout the puppy raising journey. After all, it truly takes a village to raise a Service Dog in Training, and we want to be sure our volunteers have everything they need to succeed.

It may seem an easy task – pick a dog, assign it to a client, and a Service Dog team is formed. But the NEADS matching process is so much more.
