Celebrating Heroes

Heroes are among us—including you! There are so many ways to be a hero to animals in need and celebrate the special bond we share with our pets.

Watch the 2022 Diamond Collar Heroes’ stories

Each year, OHS honors people and pets who have demonstrated extraordinary compassion, commitment and kindness. Their stories inspire us to create a More Humane Society and are guaranteed to feed your soul. Meet the heroes in our community who have been honored with a 2022 Diamond Collar Award.

Dawson Kooch, a firefighter from Government Camp, rescued a critically injured cat during a house fire and drove her more than 50 miles for emergency care.
Monika’s House provides a safe place for victims and their pets where they can begin to move past their trauma and begin a new chapter.
A kitten named Moriarty, himself a survivor, helped lift a teenager out of a dark place and rediscover the joys of life.
