Donation Supports Animal Rescue and Welfare in the Austin Area

AUSTIN, Texas - Nov. 26, 2024 - PRLog -- United Heritage Credit Union is proud to announce a $20,000 donation to Austin Pets Alive! through its Charity Foundation. This significant contribution highlights the Foundation's ongoing commitment to animal welfare and its dedication to supporting organizations that save lives and provide care for pets in need.

Austin Pets Alive! is a leader in the no-kill movement, saving thousands of at-risk animals each year through innovative programs and community partnerships. The impact of donations to Austin Pets Alive! is profound: just $500 can save the life of a single dog or cat by covering shelter, food, and basic medical care, while $2,500 provides a kennel that can shelter 13 dogs annually. This $20,000 donation will go even further, helping to provide critical medical care, daily support, and shelter for countless animals.

"We are thrilled to partner with Austin Pets Alive! and contribute to their lifesaving work," said Chelsea Schrimpf, AVP of Experience & Engagement for United Heritage Credit Union and Chairman of the Charity Foundation. "Animal welfare is a cornerstone of our Foundation's focus, and this $20,000 donation will help ensure that more animals in our community are rescued, cared for, and placed in loving homes."

Austin Pets Alive! focuses on helping the most vulnerable pets, including those with medical or behavioral challenges, through specialized care and resources. Their innovative programs, such as the Parvo Puppy ICU, Neonatal Kitten Nursery, and Behavioral Rehabilitation Center, are designed to save animals who might otherwise have no chance at survival.

The United Heritage Charity Foundation remains committed to making a difference in the community by supporting impactful, mission-driven organizations like Austin Pets Alive! This donation is a testament to the Foundation's dedication to philanthropy that improves the lives of both animals and people, reflecting the values of United Heritage Credit Union and its employees.
