OVER 20,000 DOGS ADOPTED THROUGH THE HOMES FOR DOGS PROJECTColdwell Banker Mountain Central | www.susanitadediego.com26

HOMES FOR DOGS PROJECT Nothing compares to the warmth and comfort of being at home. But for many dogs across America, this feeling is foreign. According to The Humane Society, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter shelters each year. Plus, almost three million healthy shelter pets are not adopted annually, and only about 30 percent of pets in homes come from shelters or rescues. These sobering facts are what served as the inspiration the Coldwell Banker Homes for Dogs Project. After more than 100 years of helping people find homes, the real estate company extended its mission to man’s best friend with its “Homes for Dogs Project.” By partnering with Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website, the Coldwell Banker network has helped to find more than 20,000 dogs their furever homes.Coldwell Banker Mountain Central | www.susanitadediego.com27
