The Kodiak Award is appropriately named for Flicka’s best friend, her brother Kodiak. It is awarded annually to the volunteer or organization whose efforts on behalf of abused or abandoned animals are so extraordinary that the Board of Friends of Flicka believes special recognition is deserved.
We don’t expect this will ever be an easy decision – there are so many people making daily sacrifices to help animals others have mistreated. But if, in addition to the other grants we make each year, we can give special support and recognition to just one, perhaps it will give hope and inspiration to others.
The Awards
2010 – Act V Rescue & Rehabilitation – a non-profit, foster based organization dedicated to taking in and thoughtfully re-homing the most unwanted and neglected animals. Since Act V’s founders include veterinary professionals, it is uniquely qualified to treat the specific challenges presented by this group of sick, injured and emotionally neglected animals.
2009 – Retrieve A Golden of Minnesota (RAGOM) – a non-profit organization committed to rescuing and re-homing Golden Retrievers.
2008 – Karen Good: Red Lake Animal Rescue Volunteer – a volunteer with Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue, a group concerned about domestic animals and their care in the Red Lake Nation.
