Long Beach REO Real Estate Agent helps raise $18,338 to support national pet rescue and animal shelter organization
Long Beach, California Sponsored by several Bank-Owned Property Real Estate firms, the first annual No Paws Left Behind Casino Royale Night was held on April 15, 2010 at the Parker Palm Springs and raised nearly twenty thousand dollars to rescue pets abandoned by displaced homeowners.
The Casino Royale Night raised $18,388 through sponsorships and donations, which will support No Paws Left Behind™s pet rescue and housing initiatives for pets across the nation that have been abandoned by their owners during foreclosure. The No Paws Left Behind site also provides information on local animal shelters and other alternative housing providers based on ZIP code.
Cheryl Lang, founder of No Paws Left Behind, says, ”We founded No Paws Left Behind to provide homeowners facing foreclosure with a solution, instead of leaving their pets to wander the streets or be euthanized. No Paws Left Behind may also provide monetary assistance for pet deposits required by new landlords.”
Mark Shandrow, owner of Shandrow Group and co?sponsor of the Casino Royale event, says, “We decided to become sponsors of the event because we’ve contacted No Paws Left Behind several times to come out and rescue the pets we find in locked and abandoned homes. These pets would be doomed if not for the kindness and caring of Cheryl and her organization.
Homeowners entering the foreclosure process can visit the No Paws Left Behind website to locate no-kill animal shelters, temporary foster care and pet deposit assistance options before they are forced to relocate. No Paws Left Behind provides information for qualified animal shelters and foster care providers who are seeking financial assistance.
