ABOUT US


THE DOG FANCIERS' FUND is a charitable organization which was set up in 1993 to assist owners, breeders, trainers, handlers, and other dog fanciers who face financial crisis.  THE FUND provides one-time financial assistance to dog enthusiasts who suffer personal injury, illness, disease, accident, natural disaster, emotional devastation or just plain bad luck.

Individuals who wish to apply for assistance should write to THE FUND outlining their own situation or that of a friend.

Applicants must have been continuously and meaningfully involved in the sport of dogs for five (5) years at events sanctioned by the American Kennel Club; they must be in good standing with the AKC.  A simple application in the form of a letter may be mailed to THE FUND.

The officers of THE FUND consider all requests and grant to all of those as are covered by the stated requirements.
