Maddie’s® Million Pet Challenge is dedicated to helping communities build programs to keep families and their pets together, improve outcomes for all shelter pets, and assure that pets who already have families will receive the care they need. With the support of Maddie’s® Fund, UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, the Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at UF, Open Door Veterinary Collective, and Team Shelter USA will mentor shelters and veterinary practices to deliver access to care through humane, community-centric programming both inside and outside of the shelter, and to achieve the right outcome for every pet.
