About us
K9 Youth Alliance enriches the lives of youth from under-resourced communities, focusing on the socio-emotional growth of kids and shelter dogs. 👦🏾 👧🏻 🐶 We are a group of people who are passionate about the potential of the human-animal bond to: ➢ promote socio-emotional growth ➢ enhance opportunities for youth ➢ give homeless dogs the chance to live a happy life. In our 3-week programs, kids and dogs learn together with encouragement of our dedicated team members. We teach humane education and use rewards-based dog training as a model for promoting self-discovery and nonviolence. K9YA students enrich the lives of the dogs they work with by providing much-needed socialization, teaching basic behaviors and developing trusting relationships. K9YA dogs empower the youth they work with and help them understand the importance of empathy, clear communication and a positive outlook.

Did you know? 🐾 Dogs don’t sweat like we do! Instead, they cool off by panting 😛💨 While those cute panting faces help them stay cool, it's still important to keep your pup comfortable in the heat! ☀️🔥 Here are some easy ways to help your dog beat the heat: 💧 Hydration is key – Make sure your pup always has fresh, cool water! 🐕🦺 Shade & shelter – Give them a cool spot to relax, especially outdoors. ❄️ Frozen treats – Try DIY dog-friendly popsicles for a refreshing snack. 🚶♂️ Early/late walks – Take walks during the cooler parts of the day to avoid the midday heat. Keep your furry friends happy and healthy, even when it's toasty outside! 🐶🌿 #FunFact #NonProfit #HumanAnimalBond #DogTraining
