Champion of Animals Honorees

For over 44 years, ARF has been an advocate and refuge for abandoned and homeless cats and dogs. We place hundreds of animals in loving homes every year — more than 25,000 since 1974 — and it takes a community of animal advocates, generous volunteers, and vocal leaders from all corners of public life to make this happen.

Each year ARF recognizes a generous benefactor with the Champion of Animals Award for his or her ongoing and unwavering commitment to ARF and its missions.
