Today is . To quote Gary, our President and Founder - "We are driven because there is a hole in our soul where once was the love of our dog.”
We miss them all, Bailey, Ashby, Casey, Duncan, Emma, Wrigley, Armani and Finn. Only two of ours died of something other than cancer.

Grief is something that is always with us in one way or another for the rest of our days. Remember you are not alone in this.

We would like to give you a free download of our grief journal that can be useful, even if it is 19 years later, here is the download link or you can find it in our links section in our bio.

It's time to introduce our next "Feature Dog of the Month" - Riley! Riley was one our Calendar Contest winners.

"Riley was pure happiness personified. Whether it was going for a walk with his brothers or going for car rides with his mom, he was always happy. He liked everyone he met but no one could compare to the love he had for his true best friend, his dad. They were and still are connected at the soul. 11 years with Riley was nowhere near long enough. Until we meet again on that rainbow bridge...Sit! Staaay....Good boy Dissa. Good boy." ~ Liz T.

We received a wonderful gift from the Blue Peanut Garden and Jackie - She had her annual fundraiser in honor of her Peanut (NCCF May calendar model) and Sally. She old 435 plants! Here are her words about the weekend:
It was a wonderful weekend filled with a lot of love and dogs! The support we get from friends, family and the community is incredible. Speaking to folks, cancer, especially canine cancer has touched so many lives. This is why we do this sale every year and it just honors our Peanut and Sally. Peanut was my heart and soul. It was very emotional this year. I displayed the NCCF calendar at the sale. Seeing him as the month of May. I can't put into words my feelings. Feeling so proud of him, feeling grateful to you all who chose him for this first calendar, feeling thankful for all those who voted for him and feeling just a sorrow in my heart because of how much I miss him.
He makes this sale possible every year. I do it for him (and our Sally).

It means so much to me. It’s a way to bring awareness to NCCF, canine cancer, to connect with other people and just to show the world my Peanut and Sally. We meet so many wonderful people. Some have come each year! It’s great to talk to people. We talk about how cancer has affected their lives, whether it’s canine or human. People are looking for understanding and compassion and for knowledge. There’s usually some tears every year and that’s ok. We need to support each other. Share what we know to help each other out.

Thank you Jackie, Together, We Are The Cure
