The Northeast Regional Center of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) provides highly trained assistance dogs to children and adults with disabilities in 13 states including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. 

Since opening in 1989, the region has placed 513 Assistance Dogs and more than 256 of these teams are still active.  In July of 2008, the Northeast Region moved into its new 11-acre, 39,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility,
The Miller Family Campus

The campus' Canine Care Center features 35 kennels, exercise yards, a wellness clinic and grooming facility, along with separate kennels and play yards for puppies.  The Hagedorn Team Training Residence Hall has 11 spacious fully handicapped accessible dorm rooms for training participants and their families.  Bogie's Bistro provides a community space with an accessible kitchen, dining room and lounge.  There are 5 training rooms that are utilized for team training, advanced training, puppy classes, as well as community meetings.  

Currently, the region has more than 270 volunteers, 161 puppy raisers and 8 active chapters throughout the region ensuring our organization continues to provide "exceptional dogs for exceptional people."

The Northeast Region is proud of its new facility and offers scheduled tours.  We also provide demonstrations/presentations throughout the region.  If you are interested in scheduling a tour, demonstration or presentation, please contact the Northeast Regional Center at (631) 561-0200.
