The Pet Lovers’ Choice Awards celebrate pets from across the country through a fan-voted competition presented by USA TODAY Pets, a national media partner of the awards. The competition featured entries from all 50 states, with winners determined by public voting.
In addition to celebrating standout pets, the Pet Lovers’ Choice Awards has raised more than $1.4 million for Best Friends Animal Society, a national nonprofit working to save the lives of dogs and cats in shelters. Each paid vote cast during the competition supported the organization’s work with shelters and rescue groups across the country.
“Thanks to the Pet Lovers’ Choice Awards and the millions of Americans who voted, Best Friends Animal Society has already been able to award grants to over 100 shelters and rescue groups across the country,” said Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society in a release. “Collaborations like this are key to saving pets’ lives and getting them where they belong: out of shelters and into loving homes.”
The Pet Lovers’ Choice Awards is a fan-voted national awards show created to celebrate the bond between pets and the people who love them, while also raising funds to help animals in need.
