Maddie's Pet Rescue Project of Alachua County is a community collaboration funded to end the killing of adoptable shelter dogs and cats in the city of Gainesville and the surrounding Alachua County by 2007.
The collaboration’s lead agency is the no-kill Alachua County Humane Society. Other partners include Alachua County Animal Services, Gainesville Pet Rescue, Haile's Angels Pet Rescue, Helping Hands Pet Rescue and Puppy Hill Farm.
Since 2000, Gainesville's rescue and animal control facilities impounded 11,461 dogs and cats; 8,062 were killed. Of those, approximately 3,664 were healthy and adoptable.
In the first year of Maddie's Pet Rescue Project, the partners significantly increased the number of adoptions while dramatically decreasing the number of dogs and cats euthanized at Alachua County Animal Services. Our goal for the first quarter was to limit the animals euthanized to 705. Through the hard work and dedication of our partners and volunteers and the caring nature of the community, we exceeded our goal and only 334 animals were euthanized.
Our goal this year is to find permanent, loving homes for approximately 300 animals every month and to drastically decrease the number of healthy and adoptable animals euthanized.
Help us reach our goal this year.

Feline Friends is a small foster program offering cats and kittens for adoption. All cats enter the adoption program from the College of Veterinary Medicine. Unfortunately, we do not have room to accept stray cats or owner-relinquished cats from the public. Cats and kittens are FeLV and FIV negative, vaccinated with FVRCP, FeLV, and rabies (if old enough), and receive monthly flea and heartworm preventive. In addition, all cats and kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption.

Rooterville is home to over 100 rescued animals. Most of our residents are pot bellied pigs because, well, we LOVE PIGS! Of course, we like other animals as well, and they are welcome here too, but there are very few places helping pot bellied pigs so, we are always busy! Because we believe that ALL animals are capable of suffering and feeling pain, we encourage everyone to choose a compassionate lifestyle by avoiding eating animals and using animal products. Being a vegetarian is better for you, the environment and definitely for the animals, especially the intelligent, gentle, sensitive and silly pig! At Rooterville, we know that "PIGS ARE FOR LOVIN', NOT THE OVEN!"
