Lennar, the nation’s only A+ home builder according to Builder Magazine, is partnering with the Charleston Animal Society, Frances R. Willis SPCA and Doc Williams SPCA to increase adoptions and put more pets in new homes.
Through the end of the year, Lennar Coastal Carolinas will feature (nearly) life-size cutouts of a pair of shelter animals in Welcome Home Centers at its Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley County communities. The partnership is part of an effort to help each organization increase adoptions by 20% percent in the final quarter of 2015.
“We understand that for many of our residents, no home is complete without a pet,” said Lennar Coastal Carolinas area sales manager Guy Ackerman. “This initiative is a terrific way to add something special to the experience for our home buyers while helping the local pet community.”
Lennar and all three organizations will host a kickoff adoption event from 11 a. m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 at Lennar’s Moss Grove community, 1012 Moss Grove Drive, Moncks Corner, S.C. 29461. Moss Grove, one of Lennar’s up-and-coming neighborhoods, was selected as the event host site for its robust outdoor spaces and vicinity to Lake Moultrie. In other words, it’s a perfect spot for dogs.
