Morris Animal Foundation: The Science Keeping Adventure Dogs Healthy

Behind every long, healthy trail life your dog gets to live, there's veterinary science somebody had to fund. Since 1948, that somebody has often been the Morris Animal Foundation — one of the causes we feature in Pit Stops for a Purpose.

What Morris Animal Foundation Does

Morris Animal Foundation funds the veterinary research that moves animal health forward. Across more than seven decades they've invested over $170 million in 3,200+ studies benefiting dogs, cats, horses, and wildlife around the world.

The Canine Research That Matters to Every Dog Owner

For dog people, their work hits especially close to home:

  • The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study — a landmark project following thousands of golden retrievers across their entire lives to unlock the secrets of preventing cancer and other deadly diseases.
  • Canine cancer research — including osteosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma, two of the most devastating diagnoses a dog owner can hear.

Why Sniff and Shift Backs Them

Every product we make exists so dogs can adventure longer and better. Morris Animal Foundation works on the same goal at the deepest level — more healthy years, more miles, more time with your co-pilot. Supporting the science is supporting every dog who rides with us, which is why they're in our Shift Gears for Good garage.
