Saving Pets Challenge Continues!
Double your impact
Last month, our goal was to raise $100,000 in the Saving Pets Challenge (https://www.savingpetschallenge.org/organization/Petsalive) to provide heated floors throughout the new dog kennel building in areas where the dogs will walk. While the official Challenge has concluded on September 30, the Challenge Sponsor is keeping the website open so that giving can continue. We raised over $90K so far (including the match) and are extending our fundraising through the month of October to reach out $100K goal. With your help, we can do this! And thanks to a very generous matching donor, all donations will be matched to up to $50,000 for double the impact. DONATE now and help us reach our goal: https://bit.ly/SPC-PetsAlive

Congratulations to Maddie's Fund, who celebrates 25 years! Maddie's Fund® is a family foundation created in 1994 by Workday® co-founder Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl, who have endowed the Foundation with more than $300 million.
Since then, the Foundation has awarded more than $225.7 million in grants toward increased community lifesaving, shelter management leadership, shelter medicine education and foster care across the U.S. Pets Alive has benefited from several recent grants, thanks to Maddie's Fund.
The Duffields named Maddie's Fund after their Miniature Schnauzer Maddie, who always made them laugh and gave them much joy. Maddie was with Dave and Cheryl for ten years and continues to inspire them today. Maddie's Fund is the fulfillment of a promise to an inspirational dog, investing its resources to create a no-kill nation where every dog and cat is guaranteed a healthy home or habitat. #ThanksToMaddie.
