A reminder to everyone – because this is one of our favorite annual charitable events – that PEDAL 4 POOCHES is happening this coming Saturday, October 1! The New Home Resource team will be taking part in this ride for the animals – won’t you join us?

Created to benefit local animal rescue organizations, this is the third year Barry and Karen Lasko are hosting this family-friendly bike ride event to raise awareness, funds, and gather much-needed items for those pets who don’t yet have their “forever home.”

This year, donations will be given to the NSPCA and Heaven Can Wait Animal Sanctuary. Riders and non-riders alike are invited to join the fun and bring their donations of:

• Pet food
• Blankets
• Beds
• Towels / Linen
• Animal supplies
• Cleaning supplies
• Grooming items
• Leashes / collars
• Money (always desperately needed for medical and other care)
• And you can even check out the NSPCA Amazon Wishlist and Heaven Can Wait’s Amazon Wishlist to purchase items online directly

All of these items and all the funds – as always – will be donated in their entirety to these rescue organizations. We invite you to help us set a new record and let’s just overwhelm these great animal charities with kindness this year!

It all begins at 8:00am on Saturday October 1 at 1226 Kover Court Henderson, Nevada, 89002. And after the ride – the event wraps up at the same place with a Potluck Dinner at the Lasko’s farm.

It’s your chance to “wow” your fellow pet-loving do-gooders and bring your crowd-pleasing special Potluck Dish!
If your last name starts with A-L, bring a salad or side dish. If it starts with M-Z – bring a dessert!

So join us this Saturday – and if you’d like to play an important role in helping homeless animals, too – contact our office at (702) 365-1000 to find out how you can participate in the ride, make a donation, or maybe even do just a little bit more! (If you also happen to have time to volunteer to these organizations, they can surely use it!) Remember – all those furry little paws are counting on you! ☺

Autumn is almost upon us, and almost as soon as it launches itself (that would be September 22 – for those who keep track of these things) – our New Home Resource team is going to be taking to the street in support of Las Vegas pets who need our help!

More specifically, we’re super-jazzed about the upcoming “Pedal 4 Pooches” event that comes around every year – thanks to a couple of devoted, local animal lovers who work hard to make it happen.

This annual bicycle ride takes place every fall around this time – and this year, it will all happen on Saturday, October 1. Starting at 8:00am, enthusiastic supporters (like all of us pet-lovin’ New Home Resource folks!) will take to the Henderson roads on our bicycles to help bring awareness to the plight of homeless pets in our valley – and to raise funds and accept donations that are sorely needed.

Hosted by local pet-lovers Barry and Karen Lasko (and you can check out the Facebook event here) – “Pedal 4 Pooches” invites everyone – riders and non-riders alike – to bring their donations of pet food, blankets, beds, towels, etc. – all of which will be given to local animal charities. And as we all know, animal rescue organizations are always in need of monetary assistance to provide medical and other care for their charges – so any donations of funds will be passed on in their entirety, as well.

We’re excited to take part in – and help share the news – about this fun, family-friendly event that brings together people for a wonderful common cause, gets us all outdoors and moving in this great autumn Las Vegas weather, and to icing on the cake is: the event all wraps up with a BBQ at the Lasko’s home. (Fun, friends, family, and food – the most important “Four F’s” ever!)

Pets play a major role in our lives, as shown by decades of scientific study that confirm their importance to our physical and mental health, our sense of well-being, and even to banish loneliness. Not that we need the research to convince us – because our pets have been saving our sanity and bringing us joy and happiness for, well, Ever!

Their unconditional love is, unfortunately, not always reciprocated. There are so many pets in need here in Las Vegas, that helping to lighten that burden and bring awareness of their needs to our community is of particular importance to everyone at New Home Resource.

So we invite you to join us on October 1 – and if you’d like to play an important role in helping homeless animals, too – contact our office at (702) 365-1000 to find out how you can participate in the ride, make a donation, or maybe even do just a little bit more! Remember – all those furry little paws are counting on you! ☺

For many people, a pet is a constant source of happiness, affection, and joy. It’s a scientific fact, actually, that pets are good for our physical health and our emotional well-being!

So is it any surprise that this source of unconditional love and devotion inspires us to strive harder to become the person they think we already are? Seriously, though – would you trade for anything, that moment at the end of a difficult day when you’re greeted at the door with a wagging tail and a happy face? For us, it’s like our own little slice of heaven on Earth, because they mean the world to us.

Sadly, though, we recognize that not every animal has it as good as the ones we have at home. That’s why at New Home Resource, among the several non-profit organizations we volunteer our time, effort, and funds to throughout the year, helping local animal rescue organizations is high on that list, too.

One of those events is coming up on October 1, and the New Home Resource family is excited to participate in this one yet again! It’s called “Pedal 4 Pooches”– an annual bicycle ride event that takes place in Henderson and is hosted by local pet-lovers Barry and Karen Lasko. (You can check out the Facebook event here!)

Enthusiastic supporters (like us!) will be ready to hit the bike trail at 8:00am on Saturday, October 1 in this fun, family-friendly event that wraps up with a BBQ at the Lasko’s home. Everyone is invited to bring their donations of pet food, blankets, beds, towels, etc. to be given to local animal charities – riders and non-riders alike.   And as we all know, animal rescue organizations are always in need of monetary assistance to provide medical and other care for their charges – so any donations of funds will be passed on in their entirety, as well.

There’s nothing better than working with people who care. And we’re not just talking about people who do their job well and treat clients with respect while delivering superb service (although those are things that every New Home Resource agent and employee does daily!).

We (thankfully!) all have a life outside of our ‘day jobs,’ and we all have particular causes that are dear to our hearts. So we love it when we can come together as a team to help focus attention on important causes in Las Vegas, because this is our home – and finding ways to make it better, well, it just seems to be part of our VegasDNA.

If you’d like to play an important role in helping homeless animals, too – contact our office at (702) 365-1000 to find out how you can participate in the ride, making a donation, or maybe even do just a little bit more.   We’re counting on you ☺
