Collaboration Includes MetLife-Sponsored Golden
Beagle Award to Recognize Innovative Animal Welfare
Organizations
MetLife Pet Insurance today announced its collaboration with the
Association of Animal Welfare Advancement (AAWA) to help pet
parents confidently care for their pets throughout their furry
family member’s life. Through the collaboration, MetLife Pet
Insurance and AAWA will work together to develop and produce
content highlighting issues pet parents may face surrounding access
to veterinary care while also recognizing innovative animal welfare
organizations with the Golden Beagle Award.
“Animal welfare organizations play an essential role in
providing care and comfort to every abandoned, neglected, and
abused animal and AAWA has been a positive force in supporting
these institutions,” said Brian Jorgensen, Head of Pet Insurance at
MetLife. “We are proud to be working with such a respected group to
address the financial and physical challenges pet parents may
experience when trying to obtain medical care. We believe pets are
part of the family and are committed to ensuring that they can live
full and healthy lives.”
In working with new and potential pet parents, animal welfare
organizations understand first-hand the challenges pet parents may
face when trying to access veterinary care. These challenges may be
financial and tied to the cost of care, but they can also include
the physical distance a pet parent may need to travel to access a
licensed veterinarian.
This Collaboration will focus on producing podcasts, blog posts,
newsletters and other content designed to help animal welfare
organizations address challenges in the access to care space. This
includes highlighting innovations and potential legislation as well
as sharing news from specific shelters, local organizations, and
national movements.
“Access to care is a critical issue facing animal welfare
organizations and pet parents alike,” said Jim Tedford, President
and CEO of AAWA. “We are pleased to be working with MetLife Pet
Insurance, a market leader, to identify potential obstacles to
providing care for pets and spotlighting both potential solutions
and actions being taken to address this issue.”
In addition to content development, MetLife Pet is sponsoring
the Golden Beagle Award, which will be presented for the first time
at the November 2024 AAWA conference. This award will recognize an
animal welfare organization for its innovative approach to
addressing the challenges of helping larger breed dogs find loving
homes. The recipient will receive $20,000 to put toward their
work.
“An essential part of MetLife Pet Insurance’s mission is helping
pets find and stay in a home that is right for them,” said
Jorgensen. “The organizations we will recognize with the Golden
Beagle are doing important work in finding homeless pets their
forever homes and we are excited to showcase and support the good
they are doing in their communities.”
