Oncology - Osteosarcoma Grants
Give now and double your impact! The Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States and the Rhodesian Ridgeback Charitable Foundation are matching all donations to canine cancer research up to $30,000. This is the first year of a three-year, $90,000 pledge to match donations to fight these aggressive diseases. Give at www.akcchf.org/CancerMatch.
The Oncology - Osteosarcoma Research Program Area remains a focus of the AKC Canine Health Foundation through support of research into the pathophysiology of osteosarcoma, as well as the genetic basis and identification of potential therapeutic drugs.

The AKC Canine Health Foundation funds research in 23 different Research Program Areas for the health of all dogs. These program areas enable the Foundation to create depth in our research portfolio and help us to be responsive to the health concerns of our constituents.
Help Future Generations of Dogs
Participate in canine health research by providing samples or by enrolling in a clinical trial. Samples are needed from healthy dogs and dogs affected by specific diseases.
