Rescue Pet Awards 2026
By Only Rescues.
The Rescue Pet Awards celebrate the extraordinary impact of rescue animals and the people who change their lives every day. From devoted volunteers and inspiring shelters to the brands and individuals championing adoption, this is a national moment to recognise compassion in action.
Together, we’re shining a light on the stories that matter most, because every rescue pet deserves a loving forever home, and every hero behind them deserves to be seen.
What are the Rescue Pet Awards?
The Rescue Pet Awards, brought to you by Only Rescues, celebrate the incredible animals, people, charities, and organisations making a difference in the world of pet rescue.
Created to shine a spotlight on the life-changing impact of rescue, these awards honour the stories that deserve to be seen and celebrated; from inspiring rescue pets and devoted adopters to the heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Whether it’s a dog overcoming the odds, a cat finding a second chance, a rescue centre transforming lives, or an individual dedicating themselves to animal welfare, The Rescue Pet Awards recognise the compassion, resilience, and love at the heart of the rescue community.
This is more than an awards ceremony, it’s a celebration of second chances.
Join us on 24th November in London as we recognise the very best of rescue and raise awareness for the animals and people changing lives every single day.
