What is Maddie's Fund?
Maddie’s Fund® was established by Dave and Cheryl Duffield as The Duffield Family Foundation in 1994. In January 1999, the Board of Directors restructured the Foundation, defined its mission, implemented a new operating methodology and adopted the name Maddie’s Fund. Maddie’s Fund is helping to create a no-kill nation where all healthy and treatable shelter dogs and cats are guaranteed a loving home.
To achieve this goal, Maddie’s Fund is investing its resources in building community collaborations where animal welfare organizations come together to develop successful models of lifesaving; in veterinary colleges to help shelter medicine become part of the veterinary curriculum; in private practice veterinarians to encourage greater participation in the animal welfare cause; and in the implementation of national strategies
to collect and report shelter statistics. Maddie’s Fund is named after the family’s beloved Miniature Schnauzer who passed away in 1997.
Maddie was a beloved Miniature Schnauzer
whose unconditional love, devotion, loyalty and
spirit inspired her guardians to start a charitable
foundation, Maddie’s Fund®, in her name.
Dave and Cheryl Duffield fell head-over-heels for
Maddie when she was only ten days old. “We held
her in our arms, and loved her immediately,” says
Dave. “Maddie melted our hearts from the first
second we saw her,” adds Cheryl, “with her sweet
ways, her stubbornness, her independence, her
intelligence, her spirit, and her devotion.”

Dave, Cheryl and Maddie shared ten memorableand happy years together. Dave remembers one particularly good day during the formation of his company, PeopleSoft. Playing with Maddie, he picked her up and made the following promise: “If we ever make some money, I promise we will give it back to you and your kind so others can be as happy as we are today.”
Dave and Cheryl are fulfilling their promise to Maddie. They have endowed Maddie’s Fund with more than $300 million and have spent $71.6 million so far to save dog and cat lives. In their lifetime, Dave and Cheryl have personally given more of their personal wealth to the animal welfare cause than any other individuals. And although they don’t want to make a big fuss over their unprecedented contribution, they do want to honor their cherished companion and the special bond they shared. Animal lovers can understand this sentiment.
More and more of us view our companion animals as family, giving them the same care and tenderness we provide our two-legged family members. Our pets enrich our lives with their unconditional devotion to us. They enhance our lives with their stability, love and companionship. The rewards of animal companionship are immeasurable. Maddie inspired Dave and Cheryl to give generously to help save homeless pets in desperate need of love and care. Thanks to the dog with the indomitable spirit, shelter pets are afforded new opportunities to find compassionate homes in which they, too, may share in the joy, love and companionship that Dave and Cheryl enjoyed with Maddie. On behalf of all sheltered dogs and cats, we give thanks to Maddie, whose spirit lives on through the lives her memorable gift has touched.
