On November 4th, Home Sweet Home Realty, who lists and services the sale of your home for only 4%, held a fundraiser in support of Portland’s homeless animals.  Patrons came and showed their support by dining at any one of 5 Lompoc Brewing locations throughout the day.

Lompoc patios are a doggie hangout!

The silent auction table was a hot spot with donations from Portland favorites like Tasty n Sons, Toro Bravo, TesoAria Winery, and Yoga Shala Wellness.  All of the goodies brought in an additional $300+ for the animal shelters.

4-Legged Friends Fundraiser at Lompoc Brewing!

Do you LOVE your furry 4-legged friends as much as we do?!  Come on out to the 4-Legged Friends Fundraiser on November 4th, and participate in a day of fun and goodwill.  Home Sweet Home Realty LLC is proud to be partnering with Lompoc Brewing to support two local no-kill animal shelters here in Portland.

Kick back on the patio, order a “Brutus the Honorary Cat” muddled mint, lemonade, and champagne cocktail and enjoy the show, all in the name of charity!  You might see a cute Pekingese dressed as Sir Isaac Newton, or a Saint Bernard trying to pass as Jay Leno.  The best part is that Home Sweet Home Realty will be donating a portion of your bill to two worthy non-profits, House of Dreams cat shelter and Family Dog New Life Shelter.

So instead of stressing over the Election Day results that came tolling in the night before, come down to one of any five Lompoc Brewing locations and start your season of giving off right!  The event will include an all day doggie costume contest on the outdoor patios at Lompoc.  To enter is simple.  Just snap a picture of your stylish pooch and post on Home Sweet Home Realty’s Facebook page. (facebook.com/hshpdx) Winners and prizes will be announced the following day on Facebook. Categories include Small Dog, Big Dog, Most Creative Costume and Silliest Costume.

Both House of Dreams cat shelter and Family Dog New Life Shelter were chosen as the beneficiaries of this event due to their no-kill policies. House of Dreams welcomes cats of any age and any medical history; and they pride themselves on being an “assisted living” facility for cats. Family Dog New Life Shelter has rescued and re-homed over 11,000 homeless dogs since 2004; they believe that all dogs deserve a second chance at a new life.

Home Sweet Home Realty is a low fee, high service real estate firm operating in Oregon and SW Washington – where Sellers list for 4%. “Home Sweet Home Realty cares deeply about rescued animals, and we want to do our part to support these organizations” said Kelly Stafford, Managing broker at Home Sweet Home Realty.
