American Dog Rescue Foundation was well represented Sunday during The Humane Society of Utah’s “Hope for the Holidays” telethon on Salt Lake City’s Fox 13 News, as Founder Arthur E. Benjamin and “Chief Canine Officer” Bandit were both in attendance.

The event featured many heartwarming videos and interviews, as well as generated more than $100,000 in funding for an organization that helps homeless and abused companion animals in Salt Lake City and beyond.

“I’m always thrilled to do this event for The Humane Society of Utah,” Arthur said. “I’m proud to claim Utah as one of my homes and to work closely with an organization I know is doing such important work for animals in need.”
