2025 Golden Rule Gala nominations are now open for exceptional people and organizations involved in Rural Rescue. Every year thousands of animals are dumped in our rural communities. These communities often have scant resources to deal with this influx of unwanted animals. It is up to grassroots efforts and amazing volunteers to give these abandoned animals hope.

If you know of an exceptional organization or volunteer that tackles this community need, please nominate them for this award. Nominations close at 7pm on May 13, 2025

Join us in creating a more connected and compassionate society for all.
