In a world that often overlooks them, countless animals perform extraordinary acts of compassion. These stories rarely make headlines, but they have the power to inspire profound change and remind us of the deep bonds we share.

To help bring these beautiful moments to light, we are thrilled to introduce our first Compassion Award. This will be an ongoing award given to honour an animal who has demonstrated exceptional compassion. If they and their community are willing, we will showcase their inspiring story on our site. Here’s how it works:

Nominations

You must be nominated by someone else.

Eligibility

The nominee can be any animal, including human animals.

The Act

The act of compassion must be directed toward someone unrelated to the nominee in any way.

The Standard

It must be truly extraordinary.

Please send us your nominations, and we will select the best story from among those that meet all our criteria. This is a continuous award, so we welcome your heartfelt picks on an ongoing basis. Together, let's celebrate the compassion that connects us all.
