You can still make the plot exciting without tons of action. You said you wanted your book to be a character-driven novel in the light of right and wrong, using other elements of writing you can still have that type of book. One element you could use is mystery/suspense.
For example, your MC could be so subtle and mysterious with suspenseful murders and whatnot, turning it into this type of mystery, thrilling, exciting, and eye-catching, but still giving lots of room for character development, change, and right vs wrong.
A different element you could use could simply be how you write. You don't need to change the plot, instead change your writing style, to make the plot seem to sift and bubble with a type of closed/honed in action, where instead of big picture car chases, you narrow down to those riveting little details, making your plot and story much more exciting.
The last element you could change would be consequences. Make it seem like a life or death struggle. Make it inspirational, but with the threat of being caught or failing to prevent animal abuse loom above your MC. This would also accomplish making it more exciting.
I hope this helps!
