AKC Humane Fund

New York, New York

Cause Description:
The American Kennel Club (AKC), proudly celebrates its 125th Anniversary in 2009. Since 1884 the not-for-profit organization has maintained the largest registry of purebred dogs in the world, and today its rules govern more than 20,000 canine competitions each year. The AKC is dedicated to upholding the integrity of its registry, promoting the sport of purebred dogs and breeding for type and function. Along with its nearly 5,000 licensed and member clubs and its affiliated organizations, the AKC advocates for the purebred dog as a family companion, advances canine health and well-being, works to protect the rights of all dog owners and promotes responsible dog ownership. Affiliate AKC organizations include the AKC Humane Fund, AKC Canine Health Foundation, AKC Companion Animal Recovery and the AKC Museum of the Dog. The goal of the AKC Humane Fund is to join together a broad spectrum of animal lovers by promoting the joys and rewards of responsible pet ownership. We believe this is possible through education, outreach and grantmaking. Through our fund-raising efforts, we exist to administer grants to organizations that: 1) Provide for well-being of all dogs 2) Raise awareness and educate the public about responsible pet ownership 3) Celebrate and preserve the bond between people and animals, especially the relationship between dogs and mankind. The AKC Humane Fund is a not-for-profit charity. For more information, visit www.akchumanefund.org.
