MetLife Pet Insurance Launches Golden Beagle Award to Recognize Innovative Animal Welfare Organizations
"Essential to MetLife Pet Insurance’s mission is helping pets find and stay in a home that is right for them and we are honored to present the Golden Beagle Award as part of this mission," said Brian Jorgensen, Head of Pet Insurance at MetLife. "We are inspired by the dedication and ingenuity of animal welfare organizations that are finding new ways to overcome the barriers that larger dogs face in finding their loving homes and excited to collaborate with AAWA to showcase and support these organizations and their life-saving missions."
The Golden Beagle Award will be presented for the first time at the AAWA conference in November 2024.
"AAWA is thrilled to collaborate with MetLife Pet Insurance on this award, which will highlight the pioneering and compassionate work of our members and the animal welfare community at large," said Jim Tedford, President and CEO of AAWA. "We know that larger dogs often face longer stays in shelters and lower adoption rates than smaller dogs, which can affect their physical and mental health. We are eager to see the creative solutions that our members will propose to address this challenge and help these dogs find the homes they deserve."
In addition to the Golden Beagle Award, MetLife Pet Insurance and AAWA work together to develop and produce content highlighting issues pet parents may face surrounding access to veterinary care, including financial and geographical barriers. This content includes podcasts, blog posts, newsletters, and other resources designed to help animal welfare organizations and pet parents navigate the access to care space and learn about potential solutions and best practices.
