Resource Library

Welcome to the Maddie's Fund^® Resource Library.

We've commissioned hundreds of articles by experts in animal welfare, veterinary medicine, organizational development, law, marketing, media relations and other disciplines, all in an effort to bring new perspectives to animal welfare issues and generate additional support for the no-kill nation goal.

The library articles are organized in four reading rooms:
