Shelter to Soldier: The Encinitas Mile

Since January 2015, the agents in the Calabasas office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties and members of the Los Angeles chapter of The Charitable Foundation have contributed $12,000 to the Shelter to Soldier organization. This noble nonprofit works to save not just one, but two lives at a time. Through donations, they adopt dogs from shelters and train them to become service dogs for wounded veterans.

The Calabasas office was able to raise enough money to adopt and train Berkeley, a young dog who ran in the Encinitas Mile on March 20, 2016, to raise money and awareness for Shelter to Soldier. Berkeley was trained for 12 to 18 months at an elite level, and will now serve the critical role of psychiatric service companion for a psychologically wounded post-9/11 combat veteran. Running with Berkeley is agent Kathleen Finnegan, pictured at the top, meeting Berkeley for the first time.

Our agents and offices are known for donating their time to wonderful causes and organizations such as Shelter to Soldier. If you are interested in joining the Calabasas office, reach out anytime.
