The ASPCA Annual Humane Awards Luncheon

The ASPCA Annual Humane Awards Luncheon provides the ASPCA with a forum to recognize animal heroes who have demonstrated extraordinary efforts, as well as individuals who have shown a great commitment to animal welfare. ASPCA Humane Awards are given in distinct categories. Past award categories include ASPCA Dog of the Year, ASPCA Cat Advocate of the Year, the ASPCA Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year Award, the ASPCA Public Service Award, the ASPCA Henry Bergh Award and the ASPCA Equine Welfare Award.

On Thursday, October 9, we will host the 2025 Humane Awards in New York City at The Plaza Hotel. This event will honor people and pets from across the nation who have made outstanding contributions to animal welfare. We will celebrate the inspiration that animals give us by sharing their stories of courage, hope and perseverance.

Whether you choose to participate as an event attendee, or by making a general donation, your involvement will help the ASPCA continue to provide local and national leadership in three key areas: caring for pet parents and pets, providing positive outcomes for at-risk animals and serving victims of animal cruelty.

Please consider giving to the ASPCA today.
