Organization Information
Mission Statement
Our mission is to help families with financial challenges afford critical cancer treatment for their beloved dogs.
Description
To many, a dog is not simply a pet; they are part of the family. By the age of ten, approximately fifty percent of dogs will be diagnosed with cancer and over six million dogs are diagnosed with canine cancer annually. While there is a high likelihood that available treatment options will extend a dog's life, and often even allow them to live a full life, canine cancer treatment, on average, costs between four and ten thousand dollars. Unfortunately, many families must forego treatment for their beloved companions due to financial constraints. Dogslife is an organization that fills the financial gap with treatment options and gives families in this situation somewhere to turn.
Dogslife uses donations to pay for life-saving cancer treatment of selected beneficiaries. We host several fundraising events throughout the year and we need community volunteer support.
