Quade Foundation
Quade Foundation is named in memory of a family member whose spirit and devotion demonstrated that animals in our dominion cannot be held accountable for right or wrong. It is our place to help them live a fulfilling, healthy, and safe a life as possible within the capabilities bestowed upon us and to never treat any part of them with contempt.
A Final Thought:
“Before humans die, they write their last will and testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind.
If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask:
To a poor and lonely stray I’d give my happy home; my bowl and cozy bed, soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So when I die, please do not say, ‘I will never have a pet again, for the loss and pain is more than I can stand.'
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope, and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give…
The love I left behind.” ~ Anonymous

Regardless of breed all dogs are created equal. Their genes make them different and its up to us as stewards of the animal kingdom to ensure they have a safe and fulfilling life and allow them to live out their full potential.

Even if it's "a face only a mother could love" it only shows that for every companion animal there is someone that can bring love to a shelter animal in need.
