Welcome to East Coast Assistance Dogs, Inc., where our dogs are taught to retrieve items, open
doors, activate light switches, pull wheelchairs, balance, brace, and perform
many other highly specialized tasks through
the ECADemy(c) training program. At ECAD, we tailor each dog's skills to the
needs of our Clients, who have a variety of
limitations in strength, balance, coordination or mobility.
ECAD
was founded in 1995 and received 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in 1997. We have training facilities in Connecticut and New York, and have placed dogs
in over a dozen states.
We are a non-profit
organization and rely on private donations from organizations, corporations,
individuals, and fund-raising events. ECAD is always looking for new
opportunities, sponsors and Volunteers to help. To
place each Assistance Dog we need to raise between $3500 and $8500 per team
(depending on needs).
