Dogs & Real Estate...
At first glance you might wonder what in the world do dogs have to do with Real Estate? Why has Dave written this? Hang in there...
Yesterday provided a surprise few hours of free time, so what does one do?
Go to the Soulard Mardi Gras Pet Parade of course! This is a really unique and interesting event. If you have never had the opportunity to attend I highly recommend it. There are also Wiener dog races afterwards but I for the life of me can't really tie that in although it's a RIOT! Here are some photos:
So...the connection to Real Estate. Foreclosures affect pets as well as people. All too often folks vacate a house and leave a dog (or several) chained up outside or just left in the house with an empty bowl to fend for themselves. This is heartbreaking.
There are several groups that will come and take them to safe quarters and the event above benefits the Open Door Animal Sanctuary. A fine group of folks who do some terrific work.
This past holiday season, we collected items for a local animal shelter, before our drive ended the shelter contacted us asking for whatever we had. Seems people were dropping animals off because they could not afford to feed them any longer. The shelter was attempting to keep the animals in the homes by providing food.
Stay tuned as I try and tie Pizza and Real Estate together.
