"The assembled groups held a variety of viewpoints on how best to help the animals, yet we all agreed that the most effective way to save the lives of all healthy and treatable animals in the shortest amount of time was to work together."
— Rich Avanzino

Introduction

Starter Grants for Participating Organizations

  • Maddie's Fund Starter Grants offer monetary assistance to coalitions as they work to collect shelter statistics, report shelter data using Asilomar Accords terminology, and plan for the future.

In August of 2004, a group of animal welfare industry leaders from across the nation convened at Asilomar in Pacific Grove, California, for the purpose of building bridges across varying philosophies, developing relationships and creating goals focused on significantly reducing the euthanasia of healthy and treatable companion animals in the United States.
