MADDIE'S CORNER
Animals Helping People - People Helping Animals

The Inspiration - The story of Maddie's Corner begins quite simply - with a small dog and the person who loves her.

When Maddie, a Maltese, came into singer/actress Kristin Chenoweth's life, she stole her heart. Kristin never would have guessed the impact this loving pup would have on her world. Inspired by her love for Maddie, Kristin wanted to lend her voice and support to help animals in need. With her reputation as a unique performer with a diverse range of talents - from comedienne with razor sharp timing to coloratura soprano - Kristin wanted to lend her support in a unique way, too.

With Maddie as the inspiration, Maddie's Corner was created as a place to celebrate the bond between people and their pets, to help draw attention and support to animals in need, and to highlight the many ways animals can help people in need. To give Maddie's Corner a distinct voice and heart, the bond between people and their pets will be the underlying theme in all our activities and animals will be both our message and messengers.

Our Vision for Maddie's Corner is to inspire a more humane, thoughtful and tolerant society that will benefit the quality of life of both people and animals.

Our Mission as we begin this project is to focus on activities to bring attention to the plight of homeless animals in shelters and rescue groups. We hope to increase awareness about responsible pet ownership and the joys of including animals in our lives, to educate about and to inspire humane attitudes toward animals, and to provide resources to those groups working directly with animals in need. In addition, we will periodically initiate activities benefiting human causes that will include the participation of animals to convey our message. The hallmark of Maddie's Corner is that animals, whether as the message or the messengers, will always be active participants in our activities.

Our Goals - We are just getting started and this list is sure to grow. At this time, our primary goal is to create a fund that will assist qualified animal shelters/rescue groups in their work on behalf of animals in need. Unless otherwise specified, all donations will go toward the creation of this fund.
