The Maryland Veterinary Medical
Association is looking for heroes — animals that have
demonstrated courageous behavior to protect or assist
others.
If you know an animal that has
exhibited special abilities, courageous accomplishments, or
has provided extraordinary therapeutic benefits,
complete an application
to enter it in the MVMA’s search for the next great Pet Hero. Read the

MVMA
headquarters with questions.
Entries are reviewed
year-round. Winning pet heroes will be honored with special
medals from the MVMA.
