Dexter is the Canine Cancer Hero for the PuppyUp & Putt It In Golf Tournament, coming up this August 27 at TPC Canyons Course, 23808 Resort Parkway, San Antonio, 78261.  From Dexter’s Dad I rescued Dexter in January 2010.

Congratulations to all our contestants in our 8th Cancer Can’t Keep a Good Dog Down calendar contest. Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved, we raised over $16,000.00 this year.

Do you golf? Do you know how many words golf has in common with dogs? Think about it. There’s dogleg, heel, pitch and run, takeaway, gimme, hole, playing through, bite, chop, short game, waggle, bent grass, gross, whiff, and my favorite ― ball retriever. So it just makes sense that the PuppyUp Foundation would want to have their very own, first annual ‘Puppy Up...

We’re pleased to announce we have awarded our first grant of 2015 to the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM).

Beth Viney, event co-chair of PuppyUp Madison,...

Murphy (by Ginger Morgan, Executive Director) I thank you for always being the first one out of the tent, for keeping Hudson and Papi safe on your journey from Austin to Boston. And for (literally) doing the ground work that it took to start the PuppyUp Foundation. Thoughts of you motivate me to fight harder to educate people about canine cancer, to raise funds...
