2006 Praise for Pets

Some bring us our slippers or the morning paper. Some have proven to be the best companion on a walk around the park. Others simply provide needed comfort that has a huge impact on our lives. Now it's time to honor the outstanding pets in our community for their continued devotion to all of us. Come celebrate the 2006 Praise for Pets event on October 18th.


The Colorado Veterinary Medical Foundation is accepting nominations for this year's award ceremony. Pets as well as human heroes will be honored at this special event. Award categories include Hero, Service, Human-Animal Bond, and Human Hero. This year, a special category will honor those people who worked tirelessly to save animals displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as well as the animals they helped to find new homes here in Colorado.





Praise for Pets will also help raise money for programs like the Colorado State Animal Response Team which is one of the nation's strongest state emergency preparedness programs.

If you want to see an exceptional bird, dog, cat, horse, or other great animal recognized for their contributions, please nominate them by September 15. Click on the link to download the official nomination form or call 303-318-0447 to request a nomination packet.
