Spending Active Rain Points for the GOOD!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

As most of my readers know, I am a pet friendly Realtor. One thing I do is I contribute a certain commission percentage from every closed transaction to a local, reputable animal rescue as I realize the larger, national organizations can do without my support. Many of those are already very generously supported by the entertainment community, hence my focus is on supporting the rescues that receive much less recognition or support but that I know are doing good work.

With that said, I would like to challenge the Active Rain Store supporters to contribute their points in the following manner:

· 5,000 points will feed 10 dogs or cats in a rescue organization; I will match every contribution ten by times (i.e., you contribute 5000 points, I contribute 50,000 points).

· 10,000 points will support a routine medical exam including vaccinations for 10 rescue dogs or cats. My contribution would be 100,000 points.

· For the first 25 cats or dogs that get adopted, let’s help that person with healthcare and food cost for their first year of being adopted. 20,000 points from you for this, with my contribution being 200,000 points.

I have more points than I know what to do with on Active Rain, so why not help these small local reputable rescue groups and the animals they have saved.

The request is that anyone who participates needs to name the rescue organization that they are supporting and include a link in your post to the website of the rescue group.

Let’s spend our points for the good!  Thank you Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker and your gracious  Co-hosts Carol WilliamsKathy Streib with this  FUN July Challenge!!!!

Let's go shopping at the ActiveRain Point Store!

Great cause, take whatever points you need!

More importantly, thank you for giving part of your commission to the local animal shelter on a regular basis.  I have a couple donations I need to make to my local charity of choice, Runnin for Rhett.

Ray Henson  I have received  a couple clients over the years thanks to my support of the  various Rescue organizations and I felt so good but the best part was I gave  huge donations to those Rescue Organizations because I was not looking for business I was just giving to help, Endre

Good morning, Endre... as a pet mom and pet friendly realtor, myself, you know I love this idea and am fully behind it. I also love all those photos you posted! I regularly contribute to the Charlotte Humane Society, especially when they have a matching donation program.

I prefer giving in the manner that you do and don't really enjoy supporting the big organizations.

Here's 100,000 points to be used however they can for the Flathead Valley Animal Shelter - that's where we rescued Hercules. If there are any leftover, feel free to use them wherever else they could be used.

Great way to use points!

What a wonderful idea, Endre. My lifestyle is too much Nomad to be a pet owner. However, I will gladly donate for the pets. I'm thinking of a donation directly to some pet owners that are having trouble feeding their families and pets due to high inflation. Lots of credits for pet food. 

Have a wonderful day!

All I ask is that you send photos of dogs and cats in need to show me they are getting well taken care of by people like you, and Nina Hollander, Broker and Debe Maxwell, CRS too.

Endre- I don't know of one particular organization here- there are so many- but I love your idea!!!!  what better way to spend points!   When we were in Delray Beach, we supported Dezzy's Second Chance Animal Rescue.

Good morning Endre. We just learned that my grandson is very allergic to dogs and especially cats. This was a result of being tested to see if he had made progress with his allergies to peanuts and eggs. While he has made some  progress on peanuts, eggs are still very bad and dogs and cats were a big surprise. So, to make sure you have plenty of points to fulfill your end of the bargain, you can have mine! Enjoy your day.

What  a wonderful idea - but I'm not surprised.  You have a big heart for animals and you support the smaller, less supported organizations.  Good for you!  Great entry :)
