Since 2010
From Dog Show and Dog Trials Profits. Thanks to all of the volunteers, the exhibitors and our members.
THE GOAL:
All dogs, regardless of pedigree, should live happy and healthy lives.
COMMUNITY SAFETY
POLICE AND SHERRIF’S K-9’s
The job of K-9 is a wonderful example of how purebred dogs serve humankind. Having dogs bred for a purpose is important to K-9 Units.
SHERIFF’S K-9 UNIT’S DYXI
In 2023, MCKC donated money with a matched grant from the AKC to purchase Dyxi, trained in Trailing and pictured here with her original handler, Kevin Dean, has a great nose and work ethic to match. Her job description includes finding lost people (often Alzheimers patients) and crime suspects.
Dyxie and the officers definitely help make Moore County a safer place.
SOUTHERN PINES K-9
MCKC donates annually, whether it be for updating kennels, providing toy rewards, or purchasing temperature control for the squad car.

VILLAGE OF PINEHURST K-9
Bogey was tasked for narcotics and missing residents.
MILITARY WAR DOGS
Training and maintaining Military War Dogs is very demanding. It is very important and dangerous work, and that can wear on dog and handler alike.
EDUCATION
Moore County Kennel Club believes in supporting the future of healthy dogs. And the future of owning ANY dog is dependent on our ability to care for them.
VET TECH SCHOLARSHIPS
Central Carolina Community College
CCCC’s Veterinary Medical Technology program was started in 1974, and it is the first of its kind in North Carolina. Many of the current and future professionals working in our local Animal Hospitals are graduates of this program.
NC STATE VETERINARY MEDICINE SCHOLARSHIPS
One of the top ranked nationally. Also a driving force nationally in research and training. And many of them choose to stay in North Carolina after graduation.
Moore County Citizen’s Pet Responsibility Committee
They run a program for 4th grade students that focuses on good judgement, integrity, kindness, perseverance, respect and responsibility.
We donate each year. And some of our Members bring their dogs in to work with these kids.
The program emphasizes the importance of lifelong ownership of a dog, as well as vetting, spaying/neutering, and exercise.
DISASTER RELIEF
It could happen to anyone. Bad things happen. No one should have to decide between feeding themselves and feeding their dogs.

PET PANTRY AT THE SANDHILLS / MOORE COALITION FOR HUMAN CARE
When MCKC members learned that some of the families had pets they could not afford to feed, we set up an account with a large dog food retailer to ship pet food to The Coalition on a monthly basis. No one should have to worry about their family or pets going hungry.
