Dogs are part of our families, but our best friends can get sick, just like us. Morris Animal Foundation launched the Canine Cancer Campaign to help scientists worldwide prevent, treat and, ultimately, cure cancer in dogs.
The K9 Cancer Walk program raises funds and awareness for the Canine Cancer Campaign, which funds research that will develop prevention strategies, test new treatments, establish tools for cancer researchers and train new scientists specializing in cancer research.
Participating in one of these walks is a great way to memorialize a beloved dog lost to cancer and create a brighter tomorrow for your current companion. By supporting the K9 Cancer Walk program, volunteers and participants help their best friends live longer, healthier lives.
Half of all dogs will be affected by cancer?but together, we can beat this disease.
Don't want to walk, but want to support the cause? Choose the Sit & Stay option to virtually participate in the 4th annual K9 Cancer Walk?and help dogs enjoy longer, healthier lives from the comfort of your couch!
We Love Our Boxers!
The Sacramento Valley Boxer Club recognizes that canine companionship is not only a right but also a privilage that must be respected and nurtured.
Health Testing For The Boxer Breed
Health testing is a very important part of breeding boxers and more people need to be aware. This page provides an explanation of genetic disease and descriptions of those diseases prevalent in boxers, followed by a list of the tests available to screen for those diseases and determine genetic fitness for breeding.
