Daytime host, best-selling author
Rachael Ray

This year, North Shore Animal League America is pleased to honor daytime host and best-selling author Rachael Ray with the President's Award for Humanitarian Excellence. Rachael's devotion to her own dog, Isaboo, her championing of the often unfairly maligned pit bull breeds and her support of shelter and rescue groups has brought attention to the plight of homeless animals. Nutrish, Rachael's pet food company, has generously supported the Animal League in helping us save the lives of countless pets.

Rachael and her husband John stirred up the excitement attending the DogCatemy Celebrity Gala where they shared their home-made video of their beloved Isaboo. Her concern for the wellbeing of all animals is reflected of Rachael's Rescue's web site, where the Animal League stands as one of several shelter and rescue groups benefitting from proceeds of Nutrish sales.
