Puppy Up Fort Myers
Local chapter of The Puppy Up Foundation based in Memphis, TN. We raise awareness of canine cancer & it's similarities to human cancers.
We fund comparative oncology research that benefits both pets & people.
What is Puppy Up?
The Puppy Up Foundation is committed to facilitating grants to fund comparative oncology that unites canine and human cancers, broadening the scope of research for both man and man’s best friend. Comparative Oncology is a type of cancer research that looks at the similarities of human and canine cancer. Like humans, dogs develop cancer naturally.
Puppy Up has a series of Walks across the country to raise awareness and funds to facilitate further education and study of comparative oncology, uniting two-legged and four-legged friends for a cure.
The monies raised by The Puppy Up Foundation throughout the country goes to help fund grants for comparative oncology research, as well as raise awareness about cancer prevention, causes and treatments for both humans and canines.
The involvement of this community is critical in the success of this event and its success is critical in helping Puppy Up continue our quest for a cure.
