How the Program Works

A CANDi partnership brings three roles together in one destination.

    Provides recognition collars and helps shape program options.

  2. Your Company

    Partners with CANDi to sponsor the program in one destination.

  3. Local Delivery

    Trusted local animal welfare organizations and professionals lead locally agreed activities and community engagement.

Recognition collars are placed on participating free-roaming dogs as a visible sign of community-supported care. Sponsorship can support destination-specific local care for free-roaming, stray cats and dogs.
