America's Favorite Pet is excited to partner with PAWS (Progressive Animal Welfare Society) to aid in its mission to help cats, dogs, and wild animals thrive in happy, healthy homes or in their natural habitats. Since 1967, PAWS has unified more than 130,000 cats and dogs with loving families, nurtured more than 140,000 sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife, and made the world a better place for countless critters.
Each year, one special cat and dog claim the crown but in our hearts, every pet is a winner—cherished by their devoted parents, supported by their communities, and surrounded by love.
Participating in America’s Favorite Pet has been life-changing for me. Ozzie is more than just a pet—he's my hero. In the short time we've been together, he's taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and given me a renewed sense of purpose. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to celebrate the bond we share.
