2024 Animal Advocate Award

Minnesota Senator Scott Dibble (DFL) of Minneapolis was presented with the 2024 Animal Advocate Award by Animal Humane Society (AHS) in recognition of his work to support the welfare of Minnesota’s companion animals during the 2024 state legislative session. He accepted the award from Janelle Dixon, AHS’s President & CEO, at one of the organization’s metro area shelters. Senator Dibble was the chief author in the Minnesota Senate of the Companion Animal Board Bill, legislation that AHS supports, and a state funding request that supported AHS’s campaign to build a new animal care campus in the Twin Cities. The state funding request ultimately was not included in the legislature’s final funding bills this year.

 

Dixon siad, “We’re proud to award Senator Dibble with this year’s Animal Advocate Award because he values the human-animal bond and helps ensure the voices of animal lovers are heard at the state capitol.”
