Hi Adeline,

Got solution for you. Create formula field names National Email with return type as text. 
FirstName  + "." + LEFT(LastName,6)+ "@NATIONALCrisisResponseCanines.org"

what is the API name of the Canine's Name field? Isnt that a custom field that you created? You can get the field name from Insert Field button if you have created.
