Dallas-Based Philanthropist Announces Sponsorship of Humane Society 'Spotlight Dallas' Event; Florida Rescue Fundraiser

DALLAS, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Dallas-area executive and philanthropist Arthur Benjamin, announced today that his newly formed non-profit organization, American Dog Rescue (ADR), will be the presenting sponsor of both The Humane Society of the United States' "Spotlight Dallas" event, to further the puppy mill-busting efforts of its Emergency Services Team, and another major event in Florida the week prior, Tri-County Humane Society's annual "Doggie Ball," one of the area's core social animal advocacy events.

Benjamin is most recognized for his work with adult education and training as the Vice Chairman & CEO of ATI Career Training, a North Richland Hills-based company, that operates a national group of 23 campuses and 16,000 students over five states.  

Dividing his time between both efforts, Benjamin recently achieved a life-long goal of creating a national, non-profit organization to ensure healthy dogs find homes.

"Our mission of 'No Healthy Dog Without A Home,' is an idea whose time has come," said Benjamin, announcing the events. "Both of these organizations, in different ways, epitomize the work that goes on every day, in every city of our great country, by committed people who understand unconditional love.

"Senior Director Scotlund Haisley's Emergency Team at HSUS works tirelessly to free the prisoners of a society that wants to love and care for its pets, but has people who take advantage of that love, and desire to make money on the backs of helpless puppies and kittens.

"Jeanette Christos, founder of Tri-County Humane, is a saint to our four-legged needy friends in South Florida, serving all animals at their shelter. One only has to step into the geriatric room to see the care being given to these animals with regular walks and food cooked twice daily to their liking."

Benjamin is proud his organization is the presenting sponsor of both events.

"It is our privilege and pleasure to sponsor such great events that deliver on the mission of American Dog Rescue, 'No Healthy Dog Without A Home,'" said Benjamin.

This unique combination of "Helping People Achieve Better Lifestyles Through Career Education" by day, and "No Healthy Dog Without A Home" by night has created what Benjamin describes as "a life worth living." He starts each day early and ends it late and never seems to have a moment to relax, nor does he indicate to anyone that he wants one.
