Animal Hall of Fame - 1985

At Purina, we believe that pets are more than companions—they are family, protectors, and everyday heroes. The Purina Animal Hall of Fame was created to honour the extraordinary bond between people and animals by recognizing pets who have performed acts of exceptional courage and loyalty. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it has celebrated hundreds of animals whose bravery has made a lasting impact.

These remarkable animals have saved lives, offered emotional support, and stood by their humans in times of crisis. Their stories are powerful reminders of the strength, resilience, and unconditional love that pets bring into our lives. Each inductee represents a legacy of compassion and heroism that continues to inspire Canadians from coast to coast.

The Hall of Fame is more than a recognition program—it’s a celebration of the human-animal connection and a call to honour the pets who make our lives better. We invite you to explore the stories of past inductees and reflect on the animals who have touched your life.

If you know a pet whose actions deserve recognition, we encourage you to nominate them for the upcoming year. To learn more about the Purina Animal Hall of Fame or to submit a nomination, please click here and complete our form.
