American Canine Foundation Home Page

The American Canine Foundation (formerly Washington Animal Foundation) is a non-profit
organization founded in 2001 to stop irresponsible dog ownership and abuse to canines. We
protect dog owners rights and promote responsible dog ownership through education and
legislation.

UBI #602 286 015 WASHINGTON Registered Non Profit Charitable Corporation

Because we are involved in mostly lobbying of canine legislation we can't file for 501c3. However we can
still receive donations, IRS will not allow organizations that's main agenda is lobbying legislation to
become a 501c3 non-profit corporation.

		laws that hold the owners accountable.

		The courts have ruled Breed Bans violate the right
		to be heard.

		Several lawsuits have been successful in the last
		3 years over litigation involving constitutional rights of dog owners.
