Maddie's Story
Maddie was a beloved Miniature
Schnauzer whose unconditional love,
loyalty and spirit inspired a revolution.
Dave and Cheryl Duffieid founded 'addie's Fund in 1994 to
honor their delightfully feisty dog. While playing together in the
living room one evening, they made her a promise: If they ever
had any money, they would use it to help companion animals and
the people who love them, so they could experience the same joy
they had with Maddie. The rest, as they say, is history.
Dave and Cheryl made good on that promise after successfully
launching several, technology companies. In their lifetime, they
have given more of their personal wealth to animal welfare than
any other indivi-duals. All thanks to Maddie.
