Maddie’s Fund, the foundation behind Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days, has earmarked $10 million as a way to give back to the participating organizations, donating up to $2,000 per adopted dog or cat. Eight percent of the Maddie’s Adoption Days subsidies will be donated to the Fix. Adopt .Save. campaign. The goal of the event is to find loving homes for 10,000 homeless dogs and cats throughout the U.S. in one weekend by waiving all adoption fees for the public.

A Miniature Schnauzer named Maddie inspired a $300 million legacy dedicated to giving every dog and cat in the United States what she had: a loving home. Maddie was a family member of David Duffield, founder of Workday and PeopleSoft, and his wife, Cheryl. For the last four years, Maddie’s Fund has sponsored Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days to honor her memory.

Arizona Animal Welfare League, HALO Animal Rescue, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, the Arizona Humane Society and seven rescue groups in the Phoenix Animal Care Coalition are participating in Maddie’s Adoption Days and are all a part of the Fix. Adopt. Save. campaign to end pet homelessness in Maricopa County.
