PITTSBURGH, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh (HARP) is excited to partner with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty to support its pet food pantry, which supplies food and resources to families in financial need. Announced at today's annual Realtor meeting, this collaboration will provide vital support to HARP's pet food pantry, now Ellie's Pet Pantry Presented by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty, ensuring that pets can stay with the families who love them, even during difficult times.
While HARP tirelessly unites thousands of animals with new families through its adoption services, it is equally dedicated to supporting families in keeping their pets where they belong—in loving homes. In 2023, Ellie's Pet Pantry served over 5,000 pets, an 8% increase from the previous year, providing much-needed support to families in challenging times. Through this partnership, BHHS The Preferred Realty agents will work throughout the coming months to raise funds and collect donations for Ellie's Pet Pantry, as well as volunteering at HARP and other local shelters, ensuring that no pet goes without essential food and supplies.
Jim Saxon, COO and President of BHHS The Preferred Realty, who recently joined HARP's board of directors, emphasized the importance of supporting families and pets. "I'm thrilled to partner with HARP on this initiative. As a real estate company, we understand the importance of finding the perfect home. By working with HARP, we can help pets stay in their homes and continue to be part of loving families."
Tom Hosack, CEO and President of BHHS The Preferred Realty, added, "Our mission is to create thriving communities, and that means supporting safe and loving homes for all—people and pets alike. This partnership with HARP is a natural fit for us."
Through this partnership, HARP will be able to reach more families in need, offering essential support to prevent pet surrender. By expanding the availability of pet food and other resources, HARP and BHHS The Preferred Realty aim to keep families together, no matter the financial challenges they face.
"At Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, we believe no pet should be surrendered due to lack of resources," said Dr. Ariella Samson, Executive Director of HARP. "With the support of BHHS The Preferred Realty, we can help families keep their beloved pets at home, where they belong."
As a pet-friendly company with over 1,800 agents in offices across Western Pennsylvania and beyond, BHHS The Preferred Realty will also help connect families in other regions with resources available to them, making a real impact for pets everywhere.
