Andy's Army Canine Cancer Awareness Project Andy's Army Canine Cancer Awareness Project promotes pet health, canine cancer awareness, and funding

The Andy's Army Canine Cancer Awareness Project began with a single dog named Andy Bechtel. Andy was rescued by Golden Retriever Rescue Resource and permanently adopted in 2008. In July of 2009 he was diagnosed with cancer and he died the following November. Andy's plight sparked the creation of the first annual Andy's Army Walk and Run for canine cancer research in 2010. The Andy's Army Canine Cancer Awareness Project is an outgrowth of the the walk and run and it is dedicated to public education about canine cancer and continued fundraising for canine cancer research. The booth travels mainly to locations in the Toledo, OH area. Since 2011, Andy's Army has raised nearly $100,000 for canine cancer research.

THANK YOU! 💛🐾
It poured rain, and you showed up anyway! The Walk for Canine Cancer Research was everything. Thank you to every walker, pup, volunteer, and donor — because of you, more funding goes to K9 cancer research and to reimbursing local families for vet checks on their dogs' lumps and bumps.

A huge thank you to our amazing MC, Lissa Guyton from Channel 13! She braved the downpour right alongside us and kept everyone's spirits high — we are so grateful she was part of our day.
