What is the Canine Cruise About? Founded in 2006, The Canine Cruise is a recreational event with a purpose for Small Dogs under 25 pounds and the people who love them.  Canine Oriented Fun & Entertainment Small dogs and their people cruise around the New York Harbor on a chartered Circle Line Yacht for a day of breathtaking skyline views and doggie-centric activities. A sold out event in the very first year, the Canine Cruise has already become the most anticipated event within the canine community. Fundraising & Pet Adoptions The Canine Cruise is about celebrating and supporting the efforts of local animal charities.  One hundred percent of the proceeds from  ticket and raffle sales go to a carefully chosen and worthy canine charity.  Cruising for a new family and home, adoptable dogs are included in the program. Education & Awareness Pet professionals are on hand for demonstrations and Q&A in multiple fields like grooming, training, and veterinary care.  Join us on the Canine Cruise and be a part of NYC's most  unique event with a purpose of the Canine Community! It's the day doggies take over the Hudson!!!
