As we continue celebrating Maddie’s Fund^®‘s 30th anniversary, we’re taking a moment this December to share success stories of removing barriers.

This month on Maddie’s^® Pet Forum, we’re reflecting on the power of breaking down barriers in animal well-being to create lasting connections between pets and people. From simplifying adoption processes to creating barrier-free foster programs, removing obstacles can transform lives-not just for pets, but for the communities that care for them.

What’s more, is Maddie’s Fund and Cuddly have partnered to provide $1,000 in prizes monthly, for engaging on a this special anniversary-related post! The prize pack is being fulfilled by Cuddly, a company that enables animal well-being organizations to create fundraisers and wishlists to support animals in their care, each month’s winner will get to choose from a $1,000 curated prize pack: Cat, Dog, Mixed (cat & dog), or Build-Your-Own.

Special congratulations to the the November giveaway winner, Alicia Curley, Program Coordinator at the Humane Society of Huron Valley in Ann Arbor, Michigan!

Thank you for being a valued part of our community, and for everything you do to support animals and their people. And thanks to Dave and Cheryl Duffield for their fulfillment of their promise to their beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie.
