Morris Animal Foundation and the Sacramento Volunteers are working hard to take the K9 Cancer Walk national. Our vision is to encourage and support other dog lovers to host a dog walk fundraiser in their home town to help raise much need funds for canine cancer research. Human Cancer Walks are a very successful way of rallying support and effectively raising money to fund research. In difficult financial times it is even more critical that we dog lovers step up and support research for early detection methods, effective treatments and ultimately a cure.
