Maddie's Pet Rescue Project

Maddie’s Fund ®, The Pet Rescue Foundation is a family foundation funded by PeopleSoft founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl, to help create a "no-kill" nation. The first step is to develop programs that guarantee loving homes for all healthy shelter dogs and cats throughout the country. The next step will be to save the sick and injured pets in animal shelters nationwide. Maddie’s Fund is named after the family’s beloved Miniature Schnauzer Maddie, who passed away in 1997.

Maddie’s Fund awarded a challenge grant to two projects in Tuscaloosa County:

Maddie’s Pet Rescue Project was a coalition of local animal rescue organizations (The Humane Society of West Alabama, T-Town P.A.W.S., and ADAR) and the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter. As part of this project, Maddie's Fund also funded the Maddie's Adoption Room inside Pet Supplies "Plus". This grant ended March 2010.
 
Maddie’s Spay/Neuter Project was administered by the Alabama Veterinary Medical Association (ALVMA). It provided funds for low-cost spay/neuter surgeries for pets of people who receive Medicaid assistance. This project ended for Tuscaloosa County in 2010. If you need information on current Spay/Neuter options, visit The Spay Alabama information site, or the Alabama Spay Neuter Clinic site. Pet owners on limited income might qualify for the SNIP program, which has been extended to Tuscaloosa County.
