NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS

The Longview-Kelso Kennel Club has funded programs for animal health across the nation and has sponsored various organizations within the community. This is our way of giving back to the community for all the support they give to us each year to make our shows a success.

Canine Health Foundation

In 2005 and 2006 Longview-Kelso Kennel Club donated a significant amount to the AKC Canine Health Foundation via the Parent Club partnership program that allowed the funds to be matched.

Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine

In 2004 Longview-Kelso Kennel Club donated $10,000 to the new small animal hospital at OSU to equip the Isolation Ward. We were the only kennel club in Oregon or Washington to fund the equipment of this hospital.

Columbia County Animal Control

In 2003 Longview Kelso Kennel Club supported the Animal Control in St. Helens OR, the city in which we now hold our annual shows. This Animal Control has limited financial resources and recently had a large number of Dachshunds to foster long term. We hope our contribution will assist the welfare of animals in the area.

Canine Health Foundation

In 2002 the club designated the AKC Canine Heath Foundation as the recipient for its $5000 charitable donations.

Cowlitz County K9 Unit

With support form the Longview-Kelso Kennel Club, the unit was able to purchase a new dog. Deputy Brent Harris and K-9 Nitro have now completed the K-9 academy and are certified by the Washington State Police K-9 Association as a Generalist Police Dog Team. The unit is looking forward to many years of successful applications of the team in apprehending criminals and finding lost persons.
