In a unique collaboration blending the realms of gaming and animal welfare, Xbox, Bethesda, and id Software have launched "DOOM: The Bark Ages," an initiative supporting animal welfare organizations across the United States. This campaign coincides with the release of "DOOM: The Dark Ages," the latest installment in the acclaimed DOOM franchise.
"DOOM: The Bark Ages" aims to raise awareness and support for animal shelters and humane societies by leveraging the expansive reach of the gaming community. By partnering with organizations such as Seattle Humane, Nebraska Humane Society, and Montgomery County Humane Society, the initiative highlights the importance of animal adoption and welfare.
Seattle Humane, located near Microsoft's headquarters, has been a beacon of hope for animals in need for decades. Their programs, including temporary foster care, a Pet Food Bank, and emergency pet care funds, are designed to strengthen the human-animal bond. The collaboration with Xbox marks their first foray into the gaming world, aiming to reach a broader audience to support their mission.
Similarly, the Nebraska Humane Society (NHS) has been providing help and hope for 150 years. Recognizing the generosity of the gaming community, NHS is excited to partner with Xbox, Bethesda, and id Software. Their focus has shifted from solely pet adoption to keeping pets in their homes, offering several community programs to assist with this goal.
The Montgomery County Humane Society (MCHS) rescues vulnerable cats and dogs, providing them with love, care, and the necessary resources to thrive. MCHS ensures that adopters are never alone, offering assistance with new pet transitions and addressing any pet-related questions or concerns.
This collaboration underscores the potential of the gaming industry to effect positive change beyond entertainment. By aligning with animal welfare organizations, Xbox and its partners demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility, leveraging their platforms to support meaningful causes.
