What is Friends of MADACC?
Friends of MADACC (FoM) is the non-profit fundraising arm of MADACC. FoM provides wellness programs that focus on helping families keep their pets healthy; community education around treatment of pets and resisting pressure to engage in acts of cruelty; and financial support to help MADACC best care for the our community's stray and abandoned animal population.
FoM is run by a volunteer-based board of individuals, dedicated to community engagement and support!

FoM Objectives
Reduce Intake at MADACC
Our ultimate goal is to keep pets in homes by providing vet, educational and training resources for families who are having a difficult time with behavioral or medical issues. Avoiding pet surrender is the best way to reduce shelter populations.
Increase Adoptions at MADACC
We work closely with MADACC to educate the public about the shelter's adoption program, advertise adoption events and fund low and no-cost adoption promotions.
Shelter Enrichment
Through financial support from FoM, MADACC's staff spends their days providing the best possible environment for animals while they wait for their current/future owners.
Public Education and Support
We work within our community to provide the support and resources that allow families to keep their pets safe, happy and healthy.
Facility Improvements
A new outdoor exercise and play yard for the dogs to burn off energy and work on obedience.
Online Training
Funding for MADACC to offer training vouchers for adoptable animals.
Cat Condos
Cat Condos for the MADACC lobby that allow the cats to be comfortable, less stressed and move visible to potential adopters.

FoM provides salary support so that MADACC can add needed staff positions to help care for animals.
Supplies
Surgical equipment, leashes, collars and any miscellaneous items that MADACC requires
ID Tag Maker
