As Maddie’s Fund^®‘s 30th anniversary celebration continues, to talk about supporting people and pets in your communities.

Community sheltering focuses on extending care and resources beyond the shelter to keep pets and people together. The more we help people—especially those facing housing insecurity, financial hardship, or crisis—the fewer animals end up in shelters. Pop over to Maddie’s^® Pet Forum to share with us.

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 January giveaway winner, Wendy Montanez-Ortiz at Gatos Borincoon in Franklin, MA!

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.
