Welcome to the
Canine Cancer Awareness (CCA) web site. Within these
pages, we hope you find useful information
to guide you on your journey with your dog in battling
this disease.
Our mission is
to provide you with knowledge and support so that
you can consult with your vet to get the best possible
treatment for your dog. While you're here,
please visit our gallery, Faces of Courage. There you will see
those precious pets who have faced this disease. Some have
wonderful tributes containing personal experiences. They, along
with countless others, will never be forgotten, and are
our driving force.
CCA is a nonprofit organization dedicated
to fighting canine cancer. We help sponsor the veterinary
costs of dogs diagnosed with cancer for those families
in financial need who would not otherwise be able to
afford treatment. You can help sponsor these dogs too!
Extend their precious days, read about their courageous
battles, and give generously to these dogs—Sponsors Needed
.
Unfortunately
at this time our funds are depleted. Although we
cannot offer any financial assistance, IF
YOU QUALIFY we would like to include your
pup on the Sponsors Needed page of our website.
Any sponsor donations received on behalf of your
pup will be sent directly to your vet upon receipt
of an unpaid invoice. Please note these donations
cannot be used for balances incurred prior to receipt
of your completed application but will be applied
to any charges incurred once your completed application
and all documentation has been received.
Please note that despite our current lack of funds your
application still needs to be reviewed to confirm
medial information and financial need. Upon receipt of all
required information and verification by your vet
the application will be presented to the Board of
Directors and a decision will be made. We will contact
you if there is any information missing on your application
and you will be advised once a final decision has
been made.
With our continued fundraising efforts
our circumstances may change. Please check our
website regularly. Sign up for our newsletter to
receive updates, please send your email address to info@caninecancerawareness.org
As with any
nonprofit organization, CCA's life-line depends on
financial support. Without it, we wouldn't be here to
give you this information, nor will we be able to help
others with treatment costs. Any assistance you can
provide would be deeply appreciated.
This donation will be made through
PayPal using the credit card of your choice.
Or, if you prefer, you can mail a check
to:

Thank you Manel and Angel Naughty for your donation and moving letter:
" I know my contribution isn't much but I'll try to support more time to time when
I can. We were fortunate as a family that we could give the ultimate care to our Angel Naughty as
there was 4 incomes from our household to pay for his treatments but I know there are so many people
out there who cannot give treatment to their furbabies because of their financial limitations and I
want to support the people who treats their animals as a family and not just a dog, and I promise
I will continue even a little bit on a regular basis so that it might help in giving treatments to
the furbabies in need."
