We have exciting news! K9 Youth Alliance has launched a limited edition line of K9YA tees, sweatshirts and tote bags on Bonfire. Now you can WEAR your support for K9 Youth Alliance as we go back to school!

Proceeds from our limited edition tees, sweatshirts, and tote bags go directly toward funding our programs, like our recent Positive Youth Development Series, which brought 7 students from Boys & Girls Club Pasadena to North Central Shelter for 3 weeks of humane education and training with a shelter dog partner. Just one week after graduation, 5 of those dogs have already left the shelter and are settling into their forever homes.

We have two more programs planned this year, and your purchase today helps ensure their success. Shop now at bonfire.com/store/k9-youth-alliance 💙

Here at K9 Youth Alliance, everything starts with a simple belief: when you bring kids and shelter dogs together, incredible things happen!

For three weeks, our student handlers work side-by-side with at-risk shelter dogs, building trust, growing confidence, and forming the kind of bond that lasts far beyond graduation.

More empowered youth, and more adoptable dogs. Since 2016, that’s been our mission. Thanks for being here and supporting our work 💙 Learn more at k9youthalliance.org

As we wrap up another successful Positive Youth Development Series, we want to take a moment to recognize our incredible partner, the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena.

For over 10 years, youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena have joined us for our training programs, gaining leadership skills, confidence, and empathy, all while helping shelter dogs gain the skills and trust they need to thrive in forever homes.

We are so proud of what we have built together with the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena, and are grateful to be part of the community that they continue to nurture. Learn more about their work at bgcpasadena.org
