Hudsy 14

Hudson is celebrating his 14th Birthday! He is also a cancer survivor, having had at least 6 mast cell tumors removed.

He walked with Luke and Murphy from Austin to Boston over 2000 miles. He retired from long walks and now likes to take lots of naps.

Please make a donation in honor of Hudson! Whether you donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps. Thank you for your support of Hudsy and The Puppy Up Foundation.

Our Mission

The Puppy Up Foundation is committed to discovering the common links between canine and human cancers and the causes of these cancers through comparative oncology research. Our organization will accomplish that mission in the following ways:

Education and Awareness

The field of comparative oncology is relatively new and The Puppy Up Foundation educates people about its tremendous potential through a global campaign of strategic partnerships, seminars, speaking engagements, social media, events, broadcasts, and other forms of media.

Empowerment and Mobilization

Through The Puppy Up Walks, we are building the largest pet and people cancer community in the world: from business people to artists, from scientists to humanitarians, we are forming partnerships forged with the singular purpose of ridding the world of one of its deadliest diseases.

Investment in Research

The Puppy Up Foundation’s scientific objectives are: Broadening our understanding of the links between human and companion animal cancer, creating a cross institutional collaborative platform, developing new approaches to research, and funding translational cancer studies that benefit both pets and people.
