Project Maddie has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I've been involved with my local animal shelter for over a decade and have been surprised at how few resources exist for people who unexpectedly find themselves unable to care for their pets for financial reasons. Sadly many of these pets end up in shelters and families are left devastated. No family should lose a pet due to temporary financial difficulties.
A family in need of assistance - specifically dog food - was brought to our attention yesterday, and within hours Project Maddie was born. Other dog owners, kind-hearted non-dog owners and even a local merchant stepped up to make sure the entire family can stay together, including Maddie, who won't have endured the long journey from Texas only to end up in an Ontario animal shelter.
Thank you. Namaste.
What an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteMay I make a small suggestion? A paypal account should be set up so that monetary donations can be made more easily.
