The Charities

While we think that what we do at Woodhouse Kennel Club is unique, we know that we are really a small part of a larger community. There are so many organizations out there doing such great things, from training dogs to help with the handicapped to spreading the word about animal abuse, and we wish we could do more to support every one of them. Unfortunately we do not have the money to do this, but we do have passionate members, and for that reason we have provided this list of charities throughout the US that could use your charitable donations.
