• Navigating Opposing Visions Between Veterinarians and Shelter Leadership (June 10, 2024)

Leadership takes many forms and we're grateful for the ways you're leading every day to make life better for pets and people. 💙🐶🐱

My idea for a fundraiser took off for our rescue.  Ruff-n-Roll Bunco! This idea sparked an annual event. Our community looks forward to this fun night. We are always sold out & this helps us  in our mission in animal welfare. It's so nice to see people come together & support an important cause!

Leadership isn't always about having a title or being in the spotlight. It's in the everyday actions like mentoring a coworker, advocating for change, keeping your team motivated, or showing up with empathy. In animal well-being, these moments of quiet leadership often make the biggest difference.

At Maddie's Fund^®, we believe leadership happens at all levels. Throughout our 30 years, we've invested resources in supporting and celebrating leaders through programs like the Maddie's^® Executive Leadership Fellowship, the Maddie's^® Apprenticeship Program, and the Avanzino Leadership Award, which honors trailblazers in the field who are creating positive, lasting change.

This May, we want to hear from leaders like you:

🐾  What does leadership look like in your daily work, even if "leader" isn't in your title?
🐾  Have you led a project, mentored a teammate, or sparked an idea that made a difference?
🐾  Who in your organization shows strong leadership in quiet or unconventional ways?

💬 Drop a comment to share your story on any of the questions above! Your reply enters you into this month's Cuddly prize pack giveaway, and counts toward your organization's eligibility for a $3,000 grant.

Throughout our 30 years, we've invested resources in supporting and celebrating leaders through programs like the Maddie's^® Executive Leadership Fellowship, the Maddie's^® Apprenticeship Program, and the Avanzino Leadership Award, which honors trailblazers in the field who are creating positive, lasting change.

I started the first ever free pet food pantry in our rural community. I was able to apply for small grants and win grant challenges that have helped me to continue funding the program. I partnered with RezDawg Rescue who is a Greater Good Charities Ambassador and we are able to get pallets of cat and dog food for a very small fee. I bag the food and organize the pantry by myself in my office. Pet owners that are struggling financially can come in once a week to pick up a bag of food and can food when available.  Our community is very grateful for this pet food pantry.
