Be the Reason We Find a Cure: Help Fund $1 Million in Lifesaving Canine Cancer Research

Every day, families lose dogs they love to cancer. Join this ambitious One Million Dollar Campaign—a bold effort to raise $1 million a year for the research that could save countless dogs from cancer. We’re fighting to change that—one research grant at a time.

Cancer is Taking Our Dogs Too Soon. But It Doesn’t Have To.

1 in 3 dogs will be diagnosed with cancer. Behind every statistic is a heartbroken family, a lost “heart dog,” and a future cut short.

For our President and Co-Founder Gary Nice, this statistic is heartbreakingly real. In just 9 years, he and his wife Sara lost six beloved Golden Retrievers to cancer. Their story is not unique—and that’s the problem. Too many dogs are being taken too soon.

As a Game Changer, your monthly support directly fuels research grants at top veterinary institutions like UC Davis, University of Minnesota, and Purdue University—funding smarter diagnostics, less invasive treatments, and real hope for dogs and the people who love them.

Many university-based grants have even been put on hold in today’s political climate, making private support more essential than ever.

Together, We Can Fund $1,000,000 in Research in a Year.

📈 Think $25/month is too much? It’s not. For most people, it’s one less dinner out, a few less drive-thru coffees. But if you redirect that part of your budget to canine cancer research, it becomes something life-changing.

This campaign is more than just an ask—it’s a movement. It’s your chance to be part of something bold, urgent, and transformational. Imagine saying one day: “I helped make this cure possible.”

If enough of us step up—and bring others with us—we’ll reach $1 million faster than anyone thought possible. But if we don’t act now, we risk falling short when dogs need us most.

Be the reason we hit that goal. Be the reason someone else joins. Be the reason a dog gets more time to love their family and be loved.

Let’s build a future where no one has to say goodbye too soon.

This Isn’t Just About Donations. It’s About Changing the Story.

To understand how much this work is needed, just look at the numbers: over 6 million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year. Yet funding for canine cancer research remains a fraction of what’s needed. The demand for better diagnostics, faster treatments, and hopeful outcomes far outweighs current resources.

That’s why every Game Changer matters.

Backed by Compassion. Driven by Science.

The National Canine Cancer Foundation has partnered with top institutions for 19 years, pushing forward diagnostics, treatments, and prevention. Continued research is the only way to improve treatments, diagnostics, and outcomes for our dogs. But without funding, the breakthroughs we hope for remain out of reach.

Your monthly gift fuels that progress—making every breakthrough a little closer, every treatment a little better, and every diagnosis a little less frightening.

We Can’t Do This Alone. But Together, We Are the Cure.
