SACRAMENTO, Calif.,
March 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), a leading
national homebuilder and developer, is excited to announce the
continuation and expansion of its partnership with the Sacramento
SPCA for a second straight year. Taylor Morrison is kicking off the
first of two sponsorships planned for this spring during a
week-long event aimed at helping clear the shelter ahead of kitten
season by covering the adoptions fees for all senior pets from
March 21–25. Seniors are dogs five years and older and cats older
than one year.
"Taylor Morrison is truly making a difference in the lives of so
many pets, and we are excited to partner with them again this
year," said Dawn Foster, director of
marketing and communications for the Sacramento SPCA. "With kitten
season just around the corner, we don't want to forget about our
seniors, most of which are already house trained and are patiently
waiting, ready for their second chance in a forever home."
Taylor Morrison helped more than 100 shelter animals find their
"fur"ever homes in 2017, and plans to help even more this year
through additional pet adoption sponsorships and increased
community involvement. "Our partnership with the Sacramento SPCA
allows us to help foster community in the areas in which we live
and build, as well as make a difference in the lives of shelter
pets and their owners," said Tim
Hearl, Sacramento Division area sales manager for Taylor
Morrison.
A staggering 6.5 million animals enter shelters nationwide each
year. To help raise awareness for this growing need, Taylor
Morrison developed a giant 8-by-8-foot custom dog bed that started
"popping up" at pet-friendly events last summer. The bed will be
back on tour in 2018, and will make a special appearance during the
adoption sponsorship week at the Sacramento SPCA on Saturday, March 24, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. New pet owners are encouraged
to take selfies on the bed with their new furry family member and
post to social media to help promote pet adoption.
Pet ownership in the U.S. in on the rise, with a record-breaking
85 million households now owning a pet according to a 2017 survey
by the American Pet Products Association. "Over 60 percent of our
homebuyers have pets, and as passionate pet owners ourselves, we
understand that furry family members play an important role in the
new home buying process," said Tim
Hearl. With this in mind, Taylor Morrison is building homes
with a variety of unique pet-friendly amenities available including
in-home pet wash stations and sizeable fenced backyards. All
Sacramento community sales centers
are pet friendly, and visitors are encouraged to bring along their
furry family member to lounge in their own personal dog bed and
enjoy the treat and water station, which will be unveiled at the
official opening of Blume and Treo at Solaire in Roseville this April.
Visit the SPCA at 6201 Florin
Perkins Road, Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For directions or more
