H.R. No. 199
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, For more than 45 years, the DFW Humane Society has dedicated itself to caring for homeless and abandoned animals in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1967, the DFWHS is a no-kill animal shelter that houses stray and unwanted pets and arranges for their adoption into new homes; it also works with the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection and the Kaufman County Animal Awareness Project to provide low-cost spay and neuter services; the shelter houses between 80 and 100 animals at any one time and relies on donations and the assistance of dedicated volunteers; and
WHEREAS, The DFWHS formed an association with Irving Animal Services in 2007, and since 2010, this unique public/private partnership has shared the same facility in Irving; working together, the two groups have rescued animals living in unsanitary households, provided homes for pets made homeless by natural disasters, and conducted such joint community programs as mobile adoptions, Pooch Fest, the Blessing of the Animals, and Wags and Whiskers Week; and
WHEREAS, By offering a safe shelter for abandoned pets and working to find each one a loving permanent home, the skilled and compassionate people of the DFW Humane Society truly deserve special recognition for the invaluable service they provide; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas Legislature hereby commend the DFW Humane Society for more than 45 years of stewardship of the area's homeless animals and extend sincere best wishes to its staff and volunteers for continued success in their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
