Despite her sacrifice, Ms Salmon said she was surprised to have been nominated.
The modest worker said she felt everyone at Blue Cross centre stepped up to take care of the animals during the Covid crisis over the past year.
“There are many people just getting on with all these sorts of things because they see the need to do so, so this nomination I feel is on behalf of everyone who is ‘doing their bit’ for the wellbeing for animals. We have taken on animals with more behavioural problems [lately] and with social distancing, we need to be able to give them the attention they need.
Supporting Ned and Jack
16 April 2021
When our Ireland Team received a request from a donkey owner desperate for help, we responded with advice and support.
The two stallions, Ned and Jack, had belonged to the owner s late father and had roamed dairy farmland with cattle for over ten years. The donkeys were unused to being handled, and when anyone tried to trim their hooves, it was a stressful experience.
In recent times, due to fencing at the farm deteriorating, the donkeys had repeatedly escaped onto roads and nearby properties, causing damage. As a last resort to prevent the donkeys from escaping, the owner confined the animals to a boat shed as he was afraid to let them out.

According to court records, charges of possession of drugs and cruelty to a companion animal for Dante Mason, 31, were bound over from county court in Boardman. A drug paraphernalia charge was dismissed.
As of Friday, Mason was in the Mahoning County jail on $10,000 bond.
He is accused of abusing a puppy at the Red Roof Inn in Boardman in February. A clerk called police after another guest heard sounds of the dog yelping.
League footage shows routine sheep worrying by Scottish hunts
The League Against Cruel Sports says it gives its full support to an amendment tabled by Green MSP John Finnie to the Protection of Livestock (Scotland) Bill. Emma Harper’s Members Bill proposes to increase penalties and provide additional powers to investigate and enforce the offence of livestock worrying.
Mr Finnie’s amendment proposes that hounds used for fox hunting are no longer exempt from legislation as they are currently under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953.
The League has released video footage of Scottish hunts regularly causing panic among flocks of sheep at a time when the public is being warned of the dangers of sheep worrying.
