Purchase Tickets

You can purchase tickets to the awards luncheon at the Multnomah Athletic Club in downtown Portland here. Tickets are $65.

The awards will honor Oregon animals and people. Animal heroes can be those pets who have acted to save a human or animal life in peril, who have performed services within the community with undying loyalty, or who have overcome incredible odds to survive. Human heroes can be those who have had a positive impact on the lives of animals, exhibiting courage and compassion in the pursuit of animals’ well-being in Oregon.

The OHS Heroes Luncheon presenting the Diamond Collar Awards will be held Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at the MAC Club, 1849 SW Salmon St., Portland, OR 97205.

2012 Winners

Any supporting materials for online nominations must be received by February 7, and should be postmarked no later than Feb. 3.

Dr. Darm Pets, Holiday Greetings from Zammy

ZAMMY
I’m a full bread Pekinese dog with my own papers. I was abused and brought back to the breeder. The breeder called around because I had some mental issues and finally my new family adopted me. I was very apprehensive that they may hurt me for a long time. Once I trusted them I found that they would never hurt me and now I’m so very happy. My family purchased me a brother that was a pain at first but now Bogie and I can’t live without each other. We are a little frustrated with the weather these last few years in Oregon that Dad is now moving the family to Phoenix AZ. We are looking forward and so excited about playing outside all day without the rain.

Dr. Darm Pets, Holiday Greetings from Bogie

BOGIE says:

I’m the baby and I always get my way. I love, love greenies and I will do a dance anytime you offer them to me. In my opionin greenies are definitely the best thing on earth. I love to bug my brother Zammy and let’s just say I’m frisky which irritates Zammy a little, I can tell he always sits down. I play as much as I can and I bark and cry if I don’t get attention 24/7 I am the baby by the way. I was the runt and I’m so cute that I always get my way no matter what. The vet said I will look like a puppy my entire life. Like Zammy said the weather seems to be getting crummy here in Oregon with the global warming so we are moving to the desert.

Dr. Darm Pets, Christmas Greetings from Jake and Simba

Here is little info on my two dogs.  Jake is the little brown Terrier/Chiwawa and Simba is the little white Pomeranian.

Jake
Part Terrier part Chiwawa part Hyper Dog.  He is 7 months old and was originally in a high-kill shelter in California when the Oregonian Dog Rescue had got him and put him up for adoption.  Jake is extremely energetic, very funny and has a ton of personality.  Jake loves to tip his little wicker basket over and dump all his toys out and play with them.  He also now has an older brother "Simba" that he loves to harass!  Jake loves to shake hands with you and loves to cuddle.  He is the biggest ham the biggest lover ever!

Simba
All Pomeranian and 7 years old.  Simba was originally in a high-kill shelter in California when the Oregonian Dog Rescue had got him and put him up for adoption.  When Simba first came home he looked llike a sheep dog.  Lots of matted and very long hair.  My husband took him to the groomer and they could not groom him completely because he was so mean.  Simba came home with half a haircut.  A few days later they were able to finish the job.  I kept working with Simba and now when he goes in for grooming he's a little angel.  Simba also used to sit with his back to us for the first couple of weeks after he was first adopted.  Now...he has completely turned around "literally" and is just a little cutie-pie and loves lots of attention and love!  What a sweet boy he is.
