Maddie's Team
Maddie's Fund® is made possible by the generosity of Dave and Cheryl Duffield. With the creation of Maddie's Fund, Dave and Cheryl are fulfilling a promise to their beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Maddie, to give back to her kind in dollars that which she gave them in companionship and love.
Add up everyone's experience, and the Maddie's Fund team has over 100 years of animal welfare expertise. President Rich Avanzino has led the industry for over 32 years and is widely considered to be the father of the no-kill movement.
