Credit Union Adopts Shelter Pet

Since last November, Kimoh (a Labrador retriever mix) has called the League City Shelter home but today he has a new home!

The management team of AMOCO Federal Credit Union adopted Kimoh as a retirement gift for Larry Wilson, Chief Financial Officer. "Larry is retiring to the Hill Country and mentioned he wanted to adopt a dog so we couldn't think of a better gift for him to commemorate his loyalty to the credit union," said Shawn Bailey, CEO.

The AMOCO team took Larry on a surprise visit to the League City Shelter where Kim Schoolcraft, Animal Services Manager and Stefny Gritta, Animal Control Officer helped Larry select his new best friend.� "Kimoh was a stray and had come to the shelter after being found running the streets.� No one ever claimed Kimoh, and although the shelter staff and volunteers walked and played with him, what he needed was a real family," said Kim Schoolcraft . �Upon hearing about the unique gift, April Deem with the Pet Palace agreed to pick Kimoh up from the shelter in a limousine and take him for some much needed exercise and pampering over the weekend as Larry completed the final details of his move. ��So with a new hairdo, new name (Larry renamed him Duke after the legendary John Wayne), and a new home, Duke is truly a rags to riches story.
