We are running to save shelter dogs and improve the lives of young people - you can help!

K9 Youth Alliance pairs young people from Los Angeles and Pasadena with shelter dogs for 3-week training programs. Our certified dog trainers, educational facilitators, and adult volunteers teach the kids to train their dogs skills that will make them more adoptable and prepare them for their forever homes. We are a publicly funded non-profit, so we depend on the support of our community to continue enriching the lives of these kids and dogs! 

We will be partnering with the Los Angeles Marathon Charity Program for our third year and will have a team out and running on March 19th, 2023! You can support our runners by donating here - every dollar brings us closer to more programs for kids and shelter dogs! We couldn't do it without you and we are grateful for your support!
