Shelter Services: Maddie's® Shelter Medicine Program
Maddie’s® Shelter Medicine Program is committed to helping shelters meet their lifesaving goals. We provide assistance to animal shelters across a wide range of Shelter Medicine topics. Whether you’re dealing with an infectious disease, cleaning and disinfection protocols, enrichment and behavior policies, or population management strategies, we’re here to help.
Types of Consultation
You may be looking for a focused problem analysis like controlling a ringworm outbreak. Or perhaps a donor has come forward with funds to develop new cat housing. Whatever the shelter’s needs, we’ll work to address them with sound science and compassionate medicine.
Although formal shelter health consultations are a powerful tool to change the outcome for shelter animals, not every shelter challenge requires an onsite visit to get effective advice for positive change. We are available for:
