Your Impact – Spring 2023
For almost 75 years, Morris Animal Foundation has been a global leader in funding studies to advance animal health. With the help of generous donors like you, we are improving the health and well-being of dogs, cats, horses and wildlife around the world.
Study Data Could Shed Light on Deadly Cancer
One of the significant hallmarks of the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is real-time data collection that provides a more accurate picture of cancer occurrence in golden retrievers, along with prevalence of different cancer types. The Study team recently added histiocytic sarcoma (HS) to the primary endpoint cancers and is carefully tracking affected dogs.
Understanding Cancer in Cats
It’s important for pet parents to know about some of the more common types of cancer affecting cats to help keep their feline family members healthy.
60+ Years of Cancer Research
The Foundation’s support for pet cancer research started back in the early 1960s, when little was known about the disease in animals or humans. Learn about the impact we've made over the years.

Cancer Doesn't Have to Be My Future
