America's Favorite Pet brings together feline and canine companions to compete for $10,000 and a feature on the cover of Modern Cat or Modern Dog, all while raising awareness for a meaningful cause.
Rockefeller, aka “Rocky,” is a 9-year-old Morkie full of personality and charm. This New York City pup loves Central Park walks, endless games of fetch, cuddles, and dressing up in his stylish outfits. With playful antics and sweet kisses, Rockefeller is always ready for his next urban adventure.
Sammy is a stunning Ragdoll cat with a fluffy coat, striking eyes, and a larger-than-life purr-sonality. This laid-back king of the house loves sunbathing, tummy rubs, and turning everyday objects into “hockey” games. Sammy can typically be found exploring, climbing plants, or keeping his home delightfully under control.
The crowned cat and canine will appear on the cover of Modern Dog and Modern Cat. Inside, their pet parents will have the opportunity to open up about life with their four-legged family members.
Actor, producer, and New Kids on the Block singer, Donnie Wahlberg, and actress, host, and advocate, Jenny McCarthy, are a playful power couple who share their love, humor, philanthropy, and passion for pets with fans everywhere.
Instagram's most famous cat joins the party to share how her human turns everyday cat-ventures into viral sensations.

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.
