Canine Care & Population Control

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Care for Canines:

The organization was founded to address the fragmented animal welfare system.

Care for Canines serves as the catalyst and anchor organization for the National Care for Canines Network & Platform to enable pet owners, caring individuals & animal welfare advocates to access affordable healthcare, vaccination & spay/neuter services to reduce the overwhelming, preventable overpopulation of unwanted, stray, and abandoned dogs, while promoting adoption for dogs already in need of care.

While the organization is new, my connection to dogs is not. When people ask for my story, I begin by telling them that I was raised in New England by a pack of Siberian Huskies. At age 12, my best friend was a neighbor's dachshund-beagle named Gretchen, who ended up adopting me. Since then, dogs have been a constant part of my life, whether through friends, roommates, or the many four-legged companions that I have met along the way.

When I began working in Afghanistan in 2007, I gravitated towards the dog care crowd and tried not to get personally involved; I failed.

This lifelong connection has now become my life's work.

In partnership with OIPA (International Organization for Animal Protection), Care for Canines is developing a national platform to facilitate a cohesive animal health system and expand access to affordable preventative veterinary care and spay/neuter services.

There are many challenges ahead, as well as the opportunity to make systemic changes.

I look forward to sharing more as Care for Canines grows.
