Non-Profit Status

In 2001, the Gas City Dog Club became incorporated as a “Not for Profit” organization under the Alberta Societies Act. This status means that no member of the club may benefit financially due to their club membership. The Gas City Dog Club is not a registered charity. Club members volunteer their time to provide classes, hold fundraisers for local pet organizations (such as the holiday Angel Tree), and host/participate in community events. Members also volunteer to make the Gas City Dog Club a more positive environment for everyone to enjoy.

Funds raised through club activities such as obedience classes and various drop-ins are utilized for:

Facility lease and maintenance
Equipment and supplies
Supporting the activities of local rescue facilities
Supporting responsible pet ownership through reduced obedience class rates for new pet owners purchasing their pets through a registered kennel
Promotion of humane training of dogs through the ongoing education and development of the knowledge and skills of our club members and instructors through:
- Maintenance of a library on dogs and training methods
- Sponsoring educational opportunities for members including instructor development
- Offering opportunities to apprentice with instructors in the classes
- Holding fun shows, trials and opportunities to network with others
Sponsoring the training, education and evaluation of therapy animal teams
