A Message from Uggie, Pets of Valor's Celebrity Spokesdog

I’m Uggie, Hollywood’s favorite furry actor extraordinaire, and I’m thrilled to announce my exciting new role: spokesdog for The HSUS's Pets of Valor Award!

Tell us about your—or someone else's—adopted or rescued dog or cat’s act of bravery that saved a human, and he or she may be named Valor Pet of the Year. Every pet deserves the chance to be a hero!
