Zen Dog Canine Training has raised more than $10,000 over the past six years, 100% of it going toward dogs in need.  We hold a strong belief in giving back to our community of dogs, especially those less fortunate than our own.  It expresses our core values and is something we are very proud of accomplishing.

We are active within our group classes for fund raising, as well as taking part in various charity drives for specific calls-to-action.  We often purchase classified advertising space in local newspapers to help place "long-timers" at the Vancouver City Pound. These ads have had a high success rate in getting dogs into loving homes.  We have also participated in several charity campaigns for S.A.I.N.T.S (Senior Animals In Need Today Society) and have helped draw together monetary funds and several hundred pounds of dog food for Turtle Gardens Animal Rescue when they were overwhelmed with a large rescue effort in 2007.  We have recently purchased air travel for several crates of puppies from northern BC, to improve the chances that they will be adopted into lasting homes.

Our latest charity drive has raised money for the purchase of warm, rain-proof dog coats for various shelters and rescues in the lower mainland.  One of our clients has kindly donated her printing services and has printed the coats with visible ADOPT ME lettering to raise the profile of these dogs needing a loving home.

The success of our charity work is due to the incredible compassion and generosity of our Zen Dog clients.  Without them we wouldn't be able to help all the dogs we have over the years.  To them all we extend a big thank-you.
