Maddie’s Fund,® The Pet Rescue Foundation, (www.maddiesfund.org) is a family foundation funded by PeopleSoft and Workday Founder Dave Duffield, and his wife, Cheryl, to help create a no-kill nation. The first step is to help develop programs that guarantee loving homes for all healthy shelter dogs and cats throughout the country. The next step is to save the sick, injured and poorly behaved pets in animal shelters nationwide. To achieve the no-kill nation goal, Maddie's Fund directs its resources towards creating successful models of community lifesaving; pioneering shelter medicine programs in veterinary schools; enlisting private practice veterinarians in the animal welfare cause; and implementing a national strategy to collect and report shelter statistics. Maddie’s Fund is named after the family’s beloved Miniature Schnauzer who passed away in 1997.
