The AKC Humane Fund's mission is to support various pet-related causes across the nation. It aims to unite all animal lovers by promoting the joy and value of responsible pet ownership through education, outreach, and grant-making, working to give back to dogs on a broad and sustainable scale.
The Women’s Shelters Grant provided by the AKC Humane Fund offers financial assistance to domestic abuse shelters that accept pets. This initiative aims to make it easier for women’s shelters to welcome pets and help break the cycle of domestic abuse by supporting pet owners at these facilities.
