Dedicated to saving dogs through lasting support
The CANIS Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to helping homeless and shelter dogs build better futures. Based in Los Angeles, we focus on education, training, and community programs that improve adoption success and keep pets in loving homes.
Our work includes the Canis Foster Club, the Mutt Matchmaker Database, and training scholarships designed to give rescue dogs the skills they need to thrive. By supporting shelters, foster families, and adopters, we help reduce euthanasia rates and promote responsible dog ownership. Every effort we make is centered on giving dogs a second chance.
