Community Service
The Clearwater Kennel Club is about more than just holding dog shows. It's active and hardworking members are involved in all sorts of canine related activities, such as giving back to the community. We donate to a number of philanthropic organizations dedicated to the canine world.
As you can see, the Clearwater Kennel Club is a multifaceted organization. If you not only love your own dog, but also your breed and dogs in general and want to network with a dedicated group of people that share the same interests, the Clearwater Kennel Club may just be something that will interest you or a family member. Please contact us today so you can be a part of this organization that enjoys our community and giving back to what makes it great!

At the Florida Gulf Coast Cluster shows in January 2026, the Clearwater Kennel Club officers were able to present a $5000 donation check to the founder of the K9 Partners for Patriots, Mary Peter, along with a couple of the Veterans and their companion dogs.
