Why CANIS?
Dogs deserve more than just our care—they deserve a world that truly understands them. CANIS is a movement to transform the future of canine well-being by uniting professionals across training, behavior, veterinary care, sheltering, research, and more. Together, we’re breaking down barriers, sharing knowledge, and building a more humane, science-based approach to serving dogs—and the people who stand beside them.
