Assistance Dogs International (ADI) is a coalition of nonprofit assistance dog organizations. The purpose of ADI is to improve the areas of training, placement, and use of Assistance Dogs. ADI also works to improve staff, volunteer, and public education about Assistance Dogs and advocates for the legal rights of people who are partnered with Assistance Dogs.
ADI has a comprehensive accreditation system and members must be regularly assessed to ensure they meet the high standards expected of Assistance Dog programs.
