Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors hosts Ninth Annual Partners for Pets Event
By Tribune Staff
Locally-owned Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors (CBBR) is encouraging people to consider a sweet, not scary, addition to their families this Halloween. The REALTOR group will host its Ninth Annual Partners for Pets event on Oct. 11.
The Howl-O-Ween Open House event is open to the public and will take place from 12 until 3 p.m. at 9136 Lower Marine Road in St. Jacob. The event is designed to raise donations to support Partners for Pets and find adoptive homes for the animals currently in their care.
“We look forward to this event all year long!” said Partners for Pets Director Erika Pratte. “We are so fortunate to have the support of Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors. The funds raised throughout the last nine years have allowed Partners for Pets to launch new community programs, make renovations to our facility and help countless rescued dogs and cats find happy homes. We hope community members will take this opportunity to check out the Partners for Pets facility and consider adoption or join our team as a volunteer.”
CBBR’s REALTORS sponsorship covers the costs of spay/neuter, vaccination and medical costs to prepare pets for adoption. The event includes food, games, raffle items, trick-or-treating for kids and facility tours. This year features music from Braswell-Thompson & Friends, Tree House Wildlife Center and Troy PD Emotional Support Officer with K9 Salina. Costumes are encouraged and all pets will have a reduced adoption rate of $25 the day of the event. Schuetzenhofer said 100% of the funds raised through the Howl-O-Ween Open House will go to support Partners for Pets.
“Partners for Pets is a cause that is close to our hearts and it’s become an event our REALTORS look forward to each year,” said Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors’ President, Gerry Schuetzenhofer. “It’s been exciting for our team to see what we can accomplish together and the difference we are making. We can’t wait to see people bring home their newest family member.”
Over the last nine years through various events, CBBR has raised over $40,000 for Partners for Pets and has helped 249 pets find their “furever” homes. To learn more about this year’s Howl-O-Ween event, go to brownrealtors.com/petevent
