Racial Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Resources





Maddie’s Fund® invests its resources in a commitment to keeping pets and people together, creating a safety net of care for animals in need and operating within a culture of inclusiveness and humility. We are working towards the day when the animal welfare field more accurately represents the diversity of our country.  We have gathered this collection of resources to provide you with opportunities to grow and learn with us.
