We’re happy to introduce our first NEADS-bred, born, and raised litter of purpose-bred dogs. On November 21, Acadia gave birth to 10 healthy puppies. For the first eight weeks, nursery staff members worked hard to lay the foundation for Service Dog work through a comprehensive early socialization program. This included puppy massages, crate exercises, and exposure to a variety of objects and people, sounds, smells, and plenty of cuddles and kisses.
