Coastal Dog Owners' Group

The C-DOG gives back to our local community.

The C-DOG fund has donated to the Tales to Tails (Read to the Dog) Literacy Program at Santa Cruz Public Library, Santa Cruz SPCA Spay Neuter Fund, Friends of Santa Cruz County Animals (FOSCA) Low Cost Spay & Neuter Fund, Annie's Blankets, the Soquel High ROP Veterinary Science Program, Local Girl Scouts of America troops, Soquel High Athletics, Harbor High Athletics and the C-DOG Scholarship Fund.

Each year the C-DOG Board considers granting money to worthwhile non-profit organizations that specifically help dogs, are located in Santa Cruz County, participate in the Spring Dog Festival and support positive reinforcement training methods.

If you are interested in applying for consideration and you are a local, dog focused organization, please contact us with a description of your project and financial needs for more information.

C-DOG gave the Tales to Tails read to the dog literacy program at the Santa Cruz Public Libraries $1,000 to help get the program off the ground.

C-DOG gave Friends of Santa Cruz County Animals a grant to support their low cost spay and neuter program.

C-DOG gave Annie's Blankets $1,850 to increase their outreach and collect more blankets for shelter dogs and cats.

In 2010, C-DOG awarded a $500 scholarship to animal science student Kelli Oberto. In 2011 the program was expanded to three scholarships.
