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:

Canine Cancer Awareness, Inc.
44 Devoe Street
Brooklyn, NY 11211

APPLY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

We realize that treatments for canine cancer are very costly. If you are struggling and need assistance to provide your dog with cancer treatment, you are encouraged to download an application for financial assistance.

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."
