About This Project

Summary

Can dogs help us find a cure for cancer? Shelter Me: The Cancer Pioneers is a groundbreaking documentary that features cutting-edge clinical trials where dogs with cancer are being treated with breakthrough immunotherapies, leading to new treatments that are extending the lives of people. Leading scientists from world-renowned institutions such as the National Institutes of Health and universities across the country provide a powerful reminder of the unbreakable bond between humans and animals.

Goals & Objectives

The filmmaking team set out to find the leading researchers in the field of comparative oncology and show dogs and people that are being successfully treated by new immunotherapies in clinical trials. The goal was to make this information accessible and show the importance of science and research.

Results & Impact

There has been a highly engaged media & social media campaign to support the broadcast, streaming and several public screenings / panel discussions for Shelter Me: The Cancer Pioneers to build awareness about clinical trials and show the importance of science and research for new cancer treatments.
