About the Cesar & Ilusion Millan Foundation

 

Working directly with animal shelters and rescue organizations across the United States, the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation supports the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of abused and abandoned dogs. In addition to awarding grants to qualified organizations, the Foundation creates and delivers to children and communities humane education programs that nurture life-long healthy relationships between dogs and people.

Grant-Making Priorities:
The Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation provides financial support to assist non-profit animal shelters and organizations engaged in the rescuing, rehabilitation, and re-homing of abused and abandoned dogs. The Foundation prioritizes funding on spaying and neutering programs to help reduce or eliminate dog overpopulation.

Education Programs:
Shelter Stars, the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation’s animal shelter affiliation program, promotes positive, healthy relationships between families and the dogs they adopt from re-homing organizations across the country. Currently, Shelter Stars partners are distributing copies of "People Training for Dogs" (the most popular volume in Cesar Millan’s “Mastering Leadership” DVD series) free of charge to families that adopt shelter dogs.

“Spay & Neuter is Nothing to Whisper About” is the Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation’s public service campaign that includes television commercials, full color posters, and reproducible ads featuring messages from the “Dog Whisperer” himself to promote the importance of spaying and neutering dogs to curb overpopulation.


"The Foundation, which has long been a dream of ours, is intended to benefit needy shelters and rescue organizations throughout the United States. Our many years of experience in the rehabilitation of dogs of every breed and background has taught us that most animals can make excellent companions, and all that many of them need is the proper care and a second chance.”
