San Francisco, January 30, 2023—San Francisco SPCA announced its inaugural awards program to celebrate pet-friendly destinations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The SF SPCA introduced the new SF SPCA Awards on Saturday, January 28 at Be Mine Furever, a Community Open House and Adoption Event that kicked off the organization’s 155th anniversary celebrations. Sourced in part by local pet guardians and animal lovers, the SF SPCA Awards will recognize pet-friendly restaurants, bars, hotels, fitness locations, retail, offices, and more.
Winners will be determined through a nomination process available now, online at sfspca.org/awards. Submissions will be accepted through February 28, 2023. The winners will be announced on the SF SPCA’s 155th anniversary on April 18, 2023.
“We look forward to recognizing all of the wonderful corners of the Bay Area that help improve and celebrate the well-being of pets and their owners,” said Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, SF SPCA CEO. “There are countless local businesses that love animals as much as we do, and locales that are favorites among our furry friends. With the SF SPCA Awards, more pet guardians will be able to learn about these resources.”
Winners of the 2023 SF SPCA Awards will receive a special SF SPCA Award Winner designation for their location and will be recognized throughout the SF SPCA’s 155th-anniversary celebrations.
