Last month, the team at Consilium Staffing hosted the third annual “Paws for a Cause” charity event in Irving, Texas. This philanthropic initiative aimed to collect blankets, towels, and toys for pets in transition at the DFW Humane Society. Through their unwavering commitment to animal welfare, team members at Consilium achieved remarkable success, surpassing last year’s records and supplying 40 bags of donations to pets in need. The event united caring individuals and emphasized the essential efforts of the DFW Humane Society, a nonprofit organization committed to granting neglected and unwanted pets another opportunity to discover a caring and affectionate family.
The Mission of the DFW Humane Society
Founded in 1967, the DFW Humane Society has been at the forefront of rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned and mistreated animals. Their primary mission is to ensure that every pet that comes under their care finds a forever home through adoption. Each year, the society rescues over 900 pets, offering them a safe haven and providing daily care until they can be matched with loving owners. With no federal or state funding, the DFW Humane Society relies entirely on the support of compassionate individuals and organizations to fund its operations and continue its life-saving work.
Surpassing Expectations
“Paws for a Cause” was a resounding success, with Consilium Staffing and its team members demonstrating an exceptional commitment to supporting the DFW Humane Society and the animals in their care. The event managed to surpass last year’s donation record, an accomplishment that exceeded initial expectations. Billy Bowden, Consilium’s RVP of Client Sales, expressed his gratitude, stating, “With a few days to go in our collection, we were worried that we weren’t going to beat last year’s donation. But in typical Consilium fashion, the team’s servant spirit came through again, and we doubled it!”
The Power of Compassion
Cynthia LaBarge, Vice President of Corporate Recruiting, acknowledged their role in making a difference, saying, “It is so easy to open your heart to homeless fur babies – thank you to Consilium for making it a focus!” The team members of Consilium Staffing invested their time, effort, and genuine care into supporting the DFW Humane Society, recognizing the crucial role that these basic necessities play in the comfort and well-being of shelter animals. These items are in constant demand, making generous donations like those made by Consilium Staffing invaluable. Through their contribution, the Consilium team helped ensure that the shelter animals have clean and cozy spaces to sleep in until they leave the facility.
A Remarkable Year
Consilium Staffing’s collaboration with the DFW Humane Society has yielded remarkable results. This year’s “Paws for a Cause” event saw the highest level of participation and generated substantial support for the shelter’s operations. “Consilium team members really put their heart into supporting this organization! Shelter animals go through bedding and toys quite fast, making these items hard to keep in stock. We are so happy to help this wonderful organization and help these pets sleep on something clean & comfy until they find their forever homes. Our partners at DFW Humane are always thrilled, and this was the best year so far!”, stated Jennifer Pruitt, Director of Learning & Development.
