WHY WE WALK AND RUN
Every dog deserves more time.
The Canine Cancer Alliance funds research and clinical trials for new treatments, including immunotherapy, that are already helping some dogs live far beyond their original prognosis.
When you join Wag Love Life, you are helping fund the next breakthrough.
This walk and 5K run doesn't just raise awareness.
It funds research that is saving dogs' lives. 🐾

WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Your participation directly supports:
Clinical Trials
Your dollars put dogs into active cancer trials, giving them access to treatments that aren't available anywhere else yet.
Immunotherapy Research
We fund the science behind treatments like the EGFR/HER2 vaccine that helped Hunter survive osteosarcoma and live to his 12th birthday.
New Treatments
We push for therapies that work better and are easier on dogs, because surviving cancer shouldn't mean suffering through treatment.
Making Treatment Accessible
Cost shouldn't determine which dogs get a fighting chance.
We fund research into making these treatments reachable for every family.
OUR MISSION
Make cancer treatable and survivable for dogs. 🐾
FAQ
About Canine Cancer Alliance
We're on a mission to end canine cancer.
Canine Cancer Alliance is a 501(c)(3) foundation raising awareness and funding research for canine cancer cures, including the EGFR/HER2 vaccine and other immunotherapy studies giving dogs more time with their families. Wag Love Life has been running since 2019, inspired by an ancient Nepalese festival that honors dogs for their loyalty and love.
Turning heartbreak into action.
Cancer is the number one cause of death for our furry family members. One in four dogs will end up with cancer. Registration fees and donations support studies led by scientists and veterinarians, seeking safer and much more effective treatments for our beloved pets.
