Community Action – Anoka County Minnesota Kennel Club

Our Club’s Community Actions

The Anoka County Minnesota Kennel Club has sponsored a new Dog Owner Subsidy Program (DSP) to local Veterinarians to assist with individual dog owners who need assistance with medical care costs for their pets. Funds from our Agility Trials are raised for this Program.

Dog Subsidy Program (DSP)

The purpose of this program is to give three area veterinarians the opportunity to assist individuals

unable to pay for proper and needed care for their dogs. Vets must be associated with current club members to be considered.

Program Chair: Laurie Hanson

Program was set up in 2021 using proceeds from the 2020 Agility show

From these proceeds, we created three $1,000.00 grants.

Results from the 2022 program

All donations were used for vaccinations, one surgery, and X-rays.
