Collin County Humane Society President Molly Peterson and her tireless volunteers have done simply remarkable things up in Collin County. Without a permanent facility, the Collin County Humane Society has saved hundreds and hundreds of dogs and placed them in loving homes.
MSC’s Queenie worked with them in placing a Great Pyrenees that a homeless man sold on the streets of Dallas for a cheeseburger. The pooch ended up on death row, but Molly and her bunch not only rescued the dog, they found him a forever home. He is now residing in a huge home with a Standard Poodle and an enormous backyard and loving-arms owner. He is no longer known as Cheeseburger.
Friday this bare-bones groups raised $100,000+ at their GIVE A DOG A HOME gala. It wasn’t just the walk-your-dog-in-the-afternoon types in attendance at the City Place event. Nope. Very special animal-loving guests included philanthropist Arthur E. Benjamin, Animal Rescue Corp founder Scotlund Haisley and Gus Hinojosa, the architect in charge of designing the new 10,000-square-foot adoption center due for completion in 2015.
Arthur, who puts his money where his heart is, helped achieve this monumental financial goal. However, that completion won’t take place with Arthur’s help alone. In planning your budgets, why not put some money aside for this project.

I so enjoyed the Gala last Friday evening. I have been involved for about 2 years now with transporting, and fostering thrown away dogs and puppies. I really enjoy meeting new people that are also involved with CCHS, and are helping the helpless animals that are discarded like trash! Thanks to you of YOU!
