America's Christian Credit Union Helps Animals Find Loving Homes with Pause for Paws
February 15, 2017
Glendora, CA, February 13, 2017 — Puppies and kittens took center stage on Saturday, as America’s Christian Credit Union (ACCU) hosted its third annual “Pause for Paws” pet adoption event in Glendora. During this free community event at ACCU’s Home Office, hundreds of guests, undeterred by drizzly weather, roamed the venue in search of the perfect four-legged valentine. Within the span of a few hours, ten (10) animals found their forever home.
The Credit Union parking lot was filled with representatives from pet shelters, animal rescues, and other pet related services and vendors including: American Cancer Society’s “Bark for Life,” Friends of Upland Animal Shelter, Inland Valley Humane Society, Priceless Pets, Farmers Insurance, Sitting 4 A Cause, Pet Fashionz, Daisy’s Hope Foundation, Bark Place, KALEO Real Estate, Blankets For Hope, VCA Hospital, Best Buddies Pet Care and Surprise Pawty. Each person who adopted an animal on Saturday received a complimentary gift bag from ACCU filled with goodies for their new pet along with a free training by Best Buddies Pet Care.
This event is quickly becoming a community tradition, offering a platform for rescued and sheltered animals. Community member Alice Montez stated “I'm so glad we went! Our doggies are so precious. Everyone so far has just loved them and they're so mellow. I’m just so happy we got them. Thank you for helping find these animals a wonderful home.”
President/CEO Mendell Thompson said, “Our mission is To Reach, Serve and Teach and today we accomplished that by placing 10 animals in loving homes. What a joy to work with these passionate pet vendors and to see the entire community coming together to support such a great cause.”
Mark your calendars for next year! ACCU’s fourth annual Pause for Paws event is scheduled for Saturday, February 10, 2018. We look forward to seeing you there!
