Eastern Volunteers at “Paws on the Runway” to Support Shelter Pets

On August 23, Eastern joined the Humane Society of Greater Miami at their lively dog fashion show, Paws on the Runway, held at Aventura Mall. The event gave shelter dogs a joyful day outside the shelter—strutting the runway, receiving extra love and attention, and charming the community in hopes of finding forever homes.

Eastern’s HR Manager, Catherine Wagner, a dedicated volunteer, dog lover, and dog owner, proudly represented the company at the event. Catherine regularly donates her time to the Humane Society of Greater Miami, and her involvement reflects Eastern’s commitment to supporting meaningful causes through active community engagement.

The purpose of Paws on the Runway is to combine entertainment with impact, raising money and awareness for pet adoption while showcasing the personalities of shelter pets. With fun runway categories, pet-friendly vendors, and adoptable dogs available to meet, the event encouraged the community to consider adoption, fostering, volunteering, or other forms of support.

The Humane Society of Greater Miami has served Miami-Dade County since 1936 as a limited-admit, adoption-guarantee facility. Every animal in their care is provided shelter, food, veterinary services, and compassion until adoption—never facing euthanasia due to time, space, or treatable medical needs. As a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the Humane Society relies on volunteers, fundraising events, and community partners to continue its lifesaving mission.

Eastern is proud to stand behind that mission by supporting events like Paws on the Runway and encouraging the community to get involved. To learn more about adoption, fostering, volunteering, or donating, please visit the Humane Society of Greater Miami.
