Finding the perfect home is usually a job for real estate agents. But this holiday season, North Scottsdale Realtor David Newcombe has some new clients: four-legged, occasionally demanding, and completely uninterested in granite countertops. Their only requirement? A family to love them.
Foothills Animal Rescue is hosting its Home for the Holidays Adoption Event on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 21-22, offering 50% off all adoption fees at its Brynne Smith Memorial Campus in Scottsdale. The shelter is even extending its hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days, giving visitors more time to meet their potential new best friend.
North Scottsdale Realtor David Newcombe of MacLean/Newcombe at Compass is sponsoring the weekend, putting his house-hunting expertise to work for a clientele that’s a whole lot furrier. Thanks to his support, every cat and dog adoption will be half-price. No bidding wars, no inspections, just the possibility of finding someone who’ll greet you like a celebrity every time you walk through the door.
“Our goal is to see as many shelter pets as possible find loving families in time for the holidays,” says Lana Shapiro, Chief Advancement Officer at Foothills Animal Rescue. “We do everything we can to make these animals feel safe and loved while they’re here, but there’s nothing like having a family of your own. We’re hoping this weekend helps more cats and dogs get that chance.”
A Little Less Waiting, A Lot More Tail Wagging
The rescue expects approximately 45 to 60 adoptable pets, depending on availability. Visitors can meet their potential companions through the shelter’s regular meet-and-greet process and, if the chemistry is right, complete the adoption and bring home their new family member that same day.
Half-price adoption fees are a great incentive, but the impact goes well beyond the savings. Every pet who finds a family opens up space and resources for another animal in need. It’s a mission Foothills Animal Rescue has embraced since 1995, helping homeless cats and dogs find their fresh start, one happy homecoming at a time.
