You can be part of this life-changing story when you name one of our newly arrived puppies through the NEADS Name a Puppy Program.

Your donation of $3,500 or $4,000 helps NEADS raise and train a future Service Dog or Breeder Dog. Service Dogs provide increased independence and connection for people in need. Breeder Dogs contribute to the next generation of World Class Service Dogs.

Program Details

• Your donation to the Name a Puppy Program cannot be restricted for a specific client or Service Dog discipline. By naming a puppy, you do not have ownership rights to the puppy.
• Your $3,500 or $4,000 donation will name one puppy.
• Suggested names will be reviewed and approved by our training department.
• Please understand that not all puppies have the right temperament or aptitude to become Service Dogs or Breeder Dogs. Dogs that neither complete the NEADS training program nor are selected as Breeder Dogs are adopted as pets. Should the puppy that you named be released from the program, we will use one of the names you submitted for one more of our newly arriving puppies. Should the replacement puppy be released, no additional puppies will be named.
