Well, they can also participate in the program, so they can play a part in saving the life of a dog or cat, too. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><b>How the Program Works<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">How is this all possible? It&#8217;s simple: the Carol Saltus Team covers the cost of the adoption, so the adopter doesn&#8217;t have to pay the fee. There are criteria that need to be met, but if a buyer or seller qualifies, they can rescue a pet in need of a home with the help of their real estate professionals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What about people who don&#8217;t want to adopt a pet? In that case, a donation will be made to Second Chance Adoption Center in the client&#8217;s name, so the non-profit rescue still benefits from the real estate transaction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Individuals and families who are looking to buy or sell a property in an area where the Carol Saltus Team operates can take advantage of this opportunity to help pets in need while at the same time achieving their real estate goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Join the PetGuide community.
