Maddie’s Fund is headquartered in California, and we confess that our office doesn’t really see a lot of snowfall. Still, there’s nothing like the spirit of Maddie to get us into the holiday mood!

We hope the unconditional love of the animals in your lives — your family pets, your fosters, the animals in your shelters and rescue organizations, the community cats snuggling down in insulated straw boxes you put together for them, everyone who worked so hard this year saving animals and their people from disasters — brings you joy this holiday season.

We especially want to send good wishes to the many wonderful animal lovers who fostered, adopted, volunteered and donated to help animals — you represent the spirit of Maddie and of Christmas past, present and future.

All of us at Maddie’s Fund wish you a happy and joy-filled holiday!
