Ok canine cancer buddies, I know that you’re probably all dog tired from doctors poking and prodding and sticking you with needles, but if you can put up with one more teeny tiny blood draw, you can make a great contribution in the fight to end dog cancer:

PetScreen is a pioneering company dedicated to improving cancer detection and treatment in pets. We have developed the first ever screen for lymphoma cancer in dogs and we are now working on additional dog cancer screens for the other major canine cancer killers.

We are currently recruiting blood samples from dogs who have been diagnosed with either Mast Cell cancer or with Canine Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). If your dog has recently been diagnosed with either of these conditions and you would be willing to donate a small blood sample (just 1 ml) it would help us speed up the availability of new tests for these dog cancers and thereby help other dogs in the near future.

Thanks Lalla, for making us aware of this!

  Yes, it’s getting to be that time. For all of you holiday shoppers, here’s a great idea that benefits a wonderful cause that’s close to all of our hearts.

Cru Vin Dogs, a wine importing company from Colorado, has announced:

In honor of our newest charitable partner, the Morris Animal Foundation, we will donate an additional 10% of all wine and merchandise purchases made from November 16th through December 31st, 2007 to the Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Cancer Campaign.

So if you’re doing the gift giving thing this season, give the gift of fabulous wine, and help put a stop to canine cancer.
