Why Help
Dogs give us unconditional love, loyalty and companionship. Unfortunately, half of all dogs will face cancer during their lifetime, and one in four will die of the disease. For some breeds (see chart below), the risk is even higher.
Morris Animal Foundation's Canine Cancer Campaign is helping scientists worldwide prevent, treat and, ultimately, cure cancer in dogs. We believe that, working together, we can one day cure canine cancer. Please donate today to help us create a healthier tomorrow for dogs.
Many of the most popular dog breeds are especially susceptible to developing cancer.
