The FIDO Awards, For Iowa Dogs and Others, launched in 2019 with a mission to honor our local pet rescues, non-profits and volunteers. The FIDO awards were designed to heighten public awareness of the Iowa’s rescue community and reward them for a job well done. The awards and their categories are also intended to help define the many volunteer roles that Iowans fulfill daily.
2020 FIDO Award Categories to be Announced Soon!
Categories and nomination forms will be available soon! Please check back often.
