The Milk Drunk Foundation

Founded by retired midwife Michelle and award-winning neonatal foster specialist Abigail, The Milk Drunk Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue operating in Oakland Park and Sunrise in Broward County. It is one of the only rescue organizations in South Florida that specializes exclusively in round-the-clock bottle-feeding and tube-feeding for orphaned neonatal puppies and kittens as well as critical congenital and cleft-palate medical cases.

Unweaned puppies and medical-needs neonates pulled from municipal shelters receive intensive, twenty-four-hour incubator and nursery care in experienced foster homes. As the puppies grow and transition to solid food, the foundation provides complete veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and spay-and-neuter surgery prior to adoption. As bottle-fed puppies grow stronger in Oakland Park and Sunrise foster nurseries, volunteers introduce early neurological stimulation, gentle handling, and positive puppy socialization.

Beyond hands-on neonatal rescue, The Milk Drunk Foundation visits local schools, libraries, and community groups to teach youth about compassionate animal care and pet overpopulation. Prospective adopters and foster volunteers can submit an application online or donate nursery supplies through the foundation's wish list. Community donations of puppy formula, incubators, heating pads, and veterinary funds allow The Milk Drunk Foundation to save fragile neonatal lives across Broward County year-round.
