We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and have been getting acclimated to the New Year, especially getting past writing 2018 on everything! It’s hard to believe that 2019 is now upon us - We at Friends of MADACC have already begun preparing for all of the wonderful events we have in store for 2019. There will be some oldies (but goodies) including the 2019 Pet Expo on February 2
nd
and of course the 8
th
Annual Walk Run Wag
on July 13th
(it’s not too early to begin daydreaming of Summer in Milwaukee, right?!) as well as some new events to stay tuned for. On January 12
th
, Central Bark West hosted our first shot clinic of 2019 and it was a huge success. In just one day we provided the same amount of services as our last two clinics combined! If you missed it, don’t fret. We will have three more this Spring/Summer! All of these events, as well as your donations, make what MADACC does possible.
We talk about (and promote) these events a lot. Because the truth is, they’re so important in our overall mission. Over the holidays, MADACC ran two major promotions; Adopt a Butterball Thanksgiving promotion and 12 Days of Strays, in which Friends of MADACC was able to supplement the cost for adoption fees. Between these two events, we were able to help MADACC adopt out 117 cats and 27 dogs for a total of 144 animals that spent their holidays in a cozy new home. That is all thanks to our donors and supporters, as well as our volunteers.
We are so appreciative of all of you and your continued support and look forward to seeing what this year brings.
Sincerely,
Amila Rizvic
Friends of MADACC Board President

Jasper is a 10 month old kitty who was in rough shape when he arrived at MADACC. Luckily he has a fighting spirit and we had the resources to help him. He needed a lifesaving back leg amputation, which Friends of MADACC was able to fund. In no time he bounced back and is ready for a new home. Calypso is a 2 year old female who needed a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) because of blunt force trauma to her leg. It is unknown how that happened, but we are happy that we could work to get her the medical attention she needed. Lazarus came into MADACC with a ruptured eye (it is as bad as it sounds). Because of your generosity, he was able to have emergency lifesaving surgery at MADACC!

Maggie May is a 4 year old Parson Russel Terrier mix that came into MADACC in mid-December after appearing to be hit by a car. Her back leg was broken and she required a special surgery called an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) to repair the damage. Thanks to the Friends of MADACC medical fund, this little dog is ready for bigger and better things. She is looking for a quiet home that loves to snuggle and eat snausages.

Toady, Cheesehead has a double meaning. Just look at those cheesy grins. Both Marlo (right) and Tiger (left) are available for adoption and have been for awhile so Friends of MADACC is sponsoring part of their adoption fee, reducing it to only $25. Help them find their furever homes today - Adoption hours are from 1pm to 7pm.

On Saturday, January 12th, Friends of MADACC hosted their first Shot Clinic of the year. At this event, FOM provided low-cost vaccines and microchipping to a record-setting amount of pet owners.
We sold $3,364 worth of services, which is more than our last two clinics combined!
Vouchers for
free spay/neuter services at MADACC for pit bull type dogs and cats were also provided. Pet owners could also take advantage of free dog and cat nail trimmings.
A big thank you to all of our volunteers who made this possible, and to our hosts at Central Bark Westside! If you missed this clinic, you are in luck! Stay tuned for more information about our next clinic on March 30.
