The Tri-City Animal Shelter is excited to announce participation in the 6th Annual Maddie's Adopt-a-thon event:
Saturday, May 30, 2015
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Tri-City Animal Shelter - 1950 Stevenson Blvd.
Maddie's® Pet Adoption Days has supported the adoptions of more than 30,000 homeless dogs and cats since the program's inception in 2010. For each pet adopted, Maddies Fund® gives participating shelters from $200 to $2,500. This funding enables the shelters and rescue groups to save and treat more animals throughout the year.
Maddie’s® Pet Adoption Days is a two day pet adoption event honoring the memory of the foundation’s beloved namesake, a Miniature Schnauzer named Maddie. Its purpose is to increase awareness of shelter animals, shed light on the tireless efforts of shelters and rescue organizations, and find new families for homeless dogs and cats.
Maddie’s® Pet Adoption Days started in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010, where Maddie’s Fund® is headquartered, and expanded to 14 communities in 2014. To date, Maddie’s Fund has awarded $24.7 million to the participating groups which have adopted a total of 31,267 dogs and cats during the past five events. The money given by Maddie’s Fund has enabled shelters and rescue organizations to treat and rehabilitate senior pets and those with medical conditions – animals who likely would have been euthanized otherwise.
Maddie’s® Pet Adoption Days is a collaborative effort of countless people who want to save the lives of shelter animals, a testament to what can be done when people come together and rally for a common cause.
Adoptions are free along with all regular procedures (pet licensing, microchip, spay/neuter). The only fee is a city pet license if applicable. It will be a busy day for the shelter and in an effort to try and help expedite the process, we have a few tips to help you prepare for May 30th.
-
Renters: bring written landlord approval (lease agreement or letter from your landlord)
-
Home owners outside of Fremont: bring proof of ownership of your home (property tax, mortgage statement. A household bill will not prove ownership of your home)
-
Have another dog at home? Bring them with you to do a meet and greet so we can make sure they get along before sending them home with you.
-
All members of the household need to be here to make sure whatever critter you are looking to adopt fits in well with everyone.
Help Maddie's Fund® reach their goal of finding loving homes for thousands of homeless dogs and cats across the country on May 30th! Learn more by visiting http://adopt.maddiesfund.org.
