Update: "80 families"

Thanks to our incredible supporters we have been able to provide food for 40 families (a total of 73 pets!).  It's a great feeling and we are so humbled to be part of such a giving, compassionate community. 

We know there are still 39 families in our community who are struggling with the decision of whether to feed their pets or themselves.  That's a choice no pet owner should have to make, especially over the holidays.  It's a daunting task.  We knew it was a tremendous undertaking when we set out to help these 80 families.  But we knew with the help of people like you, we could do it. And we're getting there!

Right now monetary donations are ideal because they let us purchase exactly what is needed in exactly the right amount.  That way we won't end up with an overabundance of of food that we can't distribute right away, or a shortage of a specific type of food there is an immediate need for.

Many of the remaining pets on our list have very specific dietary requirements. We are fortunate to have a connection with a retired veterinarian who can provide expensive prescription pet food to Project Maddie at cost (a fraction of the cost of buying food from a veterinary clinic). A monetary donation will go much further if the food is being purchased by Project Maddie rather than a member of the public because we can get it for a better price.

We are still gratefully accepting all types of donations. Food donations can be dropped off at Pet Value located at 280 North Service Road W. in Oakville.  There is a particular need for canned food at this time.  We truly appreciate all of the support the community. Every last dollar and every single piece of kibble will help a pet in need.
