Wild Blue Dogs Canine Cancer Nonprofit's largest fundraiser for the year is Wild Blue Dog Camp. At Camp, campers and their dogs have the opportunity to work with exceptional trainers and learn a number of skills that earn them titles. These working titles not only give the owner and the dog a great sense of pride and teamwork, but they allow them to go out into the community and provide valuable services in an incredible variety of ways. These titles allow dogs to go into hospitals, rehab facilities, troubled youth programs, work with developmentally challenged children and adults, entertain and build confidence in those that are fearful or have psychological or emotional issues, and much, much more.

WILD BLUE DOGS IS SO PROUD OF THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS! These campers are able to go out into the world and make a very real difference in people's lives and in their community at large. Here is our 2019 brag gallery! We love to show off our camper’s accomplishments!

Therapy Dog

Being a therapy dog means volunteering throughout various settings such as: nursing homes, hospitals, and schools. A therapy dog will work comforting children that are learning new skills all the way to giving lonely seniors some cuddly company. A therapy dog and their owner work in unison to improve the lives of people around them. Therapy dogs are not to be mistaken for a service dog-they are different.
