HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. — The New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association is now accepting nominations for the 23rd Annual Animal Hall of Fame. The NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame distinguishes itself as the preeminent award honoring the human-animal bond, a reflection of the personal relationship between animals and their owners, in the state of New Jersey.
“Just like the winners inducted into the Animal Hall of Fame, this award is unique. Unlike most, it does not honor the best in show or the most agile. It honors the extraordinary in the ordinary; the everyday animals and individuals who achieve small accomplishments, with monumental results,” said Richard Alampi, executive director of the NJVMA.
For the past two decades, the NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame has recognized over 115 animals and animal welfare advocates in an effort to generate awareness of the veterinary profession in the state of New Jersey.
“Veterinarians recognize that the human-animal bond surpasses the exam room and can be seen in the ordinary interactions between animals and their owners,” said Alampi. “This award is about the critical role that veterinarians play in supporting this powerful bond.”
To nominate an animal or animal welfare champion, please complete the NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame application which can be found on the NJVMA website at http://njvma.org/online-nomination-form/. The submission deadline is Nov. 10. Inductees will be honored at a public awards ceremony scheduled for March 11, 2018, at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton, N.J.
To be considered, all nominations should include an official application signed by the animal’s owner or animal welfare nominee, the name and contact information of the nominee’s veterinarian, and a letter of nomination from the nominee’s owner or veterinarian explaining how the animal has exhibited special abilities or has demonstrated courage. Nominations may also include additional letters of support, photographs, videos, drawings or newspaper clippings.
