America’s Favorite Pet Competition shines a spotlight on the beloved animals across the nation while supporting a noble cause. This exciting annual event, powered by Colossal, raises funds for PAWS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping cats, dogs, and wild animals thrive. Participants rally their communities to vote for their cherished pets, vying for a coveted cover feature on Modern Cat or Modern Dog magazine and a $10,000 prize.
The heart of America’s Favorite Pet lies in its charitable mission. Organized as a fundraising campaign for DTCare, a registered public charity, the competition directs donations from votes to DTCare. These funds are then granted to PAWS, supporting their vital work in providing happy, healthy homes or natural habitats for animals in need.
Mary Hagen, CEO of Colossal, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are beyond thrilled to have PAWS as our partner for one of Colossal’s flagship competitions and a personal favorite of mine. Their unwavering commitment to animal welfare is truly inspiring, and we are honored to support their mission through the America’s Favorite Pet competition.”
