Our soft spot has four paws.
We're dog people. Not people people. And we hate canine cancer. The heartbreak. The time it steals. The dogs who deserve longer.
Why we care
Six days after I found a golf ball-sized lump on my dog Gideon's neck, he was gone. Lymphoma. I did not know what to look for.
Later, I found a pea-sized lump on Zeke, my deaf rescue Boxer. This time I did not wait. Finding it small made all the difference. That is why Zeke Squad exists.
What we do
AWARENESS
Free lumps and bumps reminders. Stickers and magnets that ask one question: have you checked your pup lately?
2,500+ mailed since 2021. Free, one per family. International requests welcome.
GIVING
A portion of proceeds benefits Live Like Roo Foundation.
Live Like Roo Foundation is a nonprofit that gives support and financial assistance to families whose pet is facing a cancer diagnosis. They have assisted more than 35,000 families, and they also send care packages and offer pet loss resources.

P.S. The honest fine print: We are not veterinarians. We are dog people who learned the hard way and would rather you learn the easy way. Everything here is our lived experience, not medical advice. If you feel a lump, a bump, or anything that makes the back of your neck prickle, do not wait and do not Google yourself into a spiral. Call your vet. That is the whole reason we send the reminder.
