Dr. Kyle Stevenson

Dr. Kyle found us in 2015 when she was going on the cancer journey with her buddy, Potter. The loss of her soul dog inspired her to do something about cancer in dogs, she started Paws4Potter in upstate New York. She continues to raise more and more awareness each year.

“If just one person learns about early cancer detection in pets and shares that information with just two other people, and they continue that trend, can you imagine just how many people will be empowered with knowledge that may someday save their pets’ lives?”
- Dr. Kyle Stevenson

Gary and Sara Nice

Gary and Sara Nice are the founders of the National Canine Cancer Foundation. In 2006 they lost Gary's heart dog, Bailey, and for the next 3 years, lost a dog a year to cancer. It was Bailey's loss that inspired the National Canine Cancer Foundation's creation. It is his memory and that of Ashby, Casey, Duncan, Armani, Emma, and Wrigley that keeps them working hard to further the mission of education, outreach and research.
