why woof?

Quite simply put, Woof On Campus is a team of diverse, driven students who all found solace in our shared love of animals. The decision to create Woof On Campus was easy -- the more students we can connect to dogs in need, the better. We wanted to create a hub for college students who wanted to help dogs, so we're starting in our hometown of Los Angeles by expanding our network beyond UCLA to LMU, Pepperdine, USC, and more. After many long summer nights of paperwork and team meetings, what started as a college club became a California 501(c)(3) non-profit created solely by college students. 

Rescue is never easy. We see dogs from the worst of conditions, but witnessing their full recovery makes every second of hard work worth it. My first word was "dog," and I have been lucky enough to aid in the rescue and rehabilitation of more animals now than I can count. Who needs sleep when you can play with animals 24/7? I couldn't be more proud to advocate for our furry companions every day, and while my future aspirations are not in veterinary medicine,  I hope to be involved in the rescue world for the foreseeable future.

Woof On Campus would not be Woof On Campus without the hard work and dedication of the hundreds of students who have opened their hearts and their homes to rescued animals. I appreciate every single one of you, and I am elated to save more dogs together as a student community.
