Our team at Project Canis is pleased to share our 2025 Annual Report! 🐾
We are incredibly grateful for our volunteers (1,840 volunteers across 2025!) who created and donated MANY toys (9,495 toys over the year!) to more than 170 animal shelters. Thank you all for turning every day items into sources of joy for cats and dogs in need.
For those who may be unfamiliar, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization originally started by students at the University of Florida to ensure that every shelter animal gets a toy. Many shelters struggle to get donations and are unable to provide toys, which are essential to animals' wellbeing.

We also offer sponsorship opportunities: https://www.projectcanis.org/sponsor.html
Thank you to our dedicated team and board, and to our donors and service partners. We are so grateful for your ongoing support. 🧡
When animals can regulate their emotions, they’re better able to rest, engage with people, and adapt to new environments, all of which matter for long-term well-being. 💟
