​We Have Relocated to Greenville, South Carolina

Thank you to our San Diego clients and friends.
It has been a pleasure contributing to the health and wellness of San Diego Dogs for over 26 years!
The Max Fund was established in April 2009 by Cutting Edge K9 Rehab owner, Trish Penick.
The Fund helps pay for physical therapy for dogs whose owners cannot afford services.
Max, German Shephard
The Max Fund is named for its first recipient, Max, a German Shepherd whose owner (a friend of Trish's) suddenly died. Max was rescued and Trish fostered Max until she found his forever home. Trish felt she needed to verify Max's medical condition before adopting him to someone, so she had a full medical exam and X-rays done. She asked the Cutting Edge K9 clients if anyone would like to help with these expenses. Clients of Cutting Edge K9 reached out to help with Max’s medical bills and the journey began. Ongoing fund raising efforts continue to help more dogs.
If you need help for your dog, please contact Cutting Edge K9 about your circumstances. Your situation will be reviewed to determine whether your case qualifies for Max Fund assistance.
