As you see, the NJFDC works closely with the AKC Government Relations Department.  They need your help as well. The AKC Canine Legislative Support Fund is used to educate and advocate on your behalf at the federal, state, and local levels and to ensure your rights as a responsible dog owner are protected. These funds may not be used to contribute to political campaigns.

Separately, AKC Political Action Committee (PAC) funds are obtained exclusively from individuals and used to contribute to campaigns to help elect dog-friendly leadership in congress and statehouses across the nation. PAC funds may not be used to lobby officials once they are in the office or to influence legislation. They may only be used in campaigns.
