American Humane, the country’s first national humane organization, has begun accepting nominations for the 2022 American Humane Hero Veterinarian and Hero Veterinary Nurse Awards™, presented by Zoetis. Pet owners and animal lovers alike are invited to visit www.HeroVetAwards.org between now and May 19 to nominate their favorite veterinary professionals dedicated to the betterment of the health and welfare of animals and the promotion of the human-animal bond. The winning veterinarian and veterinary nurse will attend the star-studded “American Humane Hero Dog Awards” gala on November 11 in Palm Beach.
For millions of Americans, animals are not just their best friends, but their heroes. Behind almost every hero pet (and millions more animals) is a hero veterinarian or hero veterinary nurse. These often-little-known benefactors save and improve the lives of animals every day, and for the past eight years, one awards ceremony has honored their tremendous achievements. These awards are not limited to companion animal veterinarians. Professionals from all fields of veterinary medicine are eligible for entry including, but not limited to those who work in research, emergency services, shelters, and those who work with large and exotic animals.
Following the nomination period, five finalists in the Hero Veterinarian and Hero Veterinary Nurse categories will be selected by a special blue-ribbon panel of judges consisting of veterinary professionals, animal care professionals and celebrities. Then, beginning July 28, the American public will be invited to vote online for their favorite veterinarian and veterinary nurse. The winners will be named the 2022 American Hero Veterinarian and American Hero Veterinary Nurse.
To nominate a veterinarian or veterinary nurse between now and May 19, and for complete contest rules, visit www.HeroVetAwards.org.
