Desert Financial Sponsors Adoption Days at Arizona Animal Welfare League
Desert Financial Credit Union is sponsoring free adoptions through the Arizona Animal Welfare League of one of 40 dogs and cats from Nov. 12 to Nov. 15. Visit aawl.org for a matchmaking appointment.
In Maricopa County, there are about 1,400 homeless animals in need of new best friends at any time, including some recently rescued by AAWL from puppy mills.
To preserve safety, interested parties must meet adoptable friends at the shelter in Phoenix (25 N. 40th Street) by appointment only at aawl.org or by calling: 602-273-6852. Furry friends sponsored by Desert Financial will be identified on each pet’s page.
Trained matchmakers will help adoptive families find new family members that meet their needs for age, breed, physical conditions, temperament, activity level, etc. Children are welcome to come meet the animals during appointments and masks are required.
“If you have room in your heart and home, we wanted to make it a little easier to say ‘yes’ to adoption,” said Jeff Meshey, President and CEO at Desert Financial Credit Union. “Working with our longtime partners at AAWL to cover fees is an investment we’re proud to make.”
Dogs and cats waiting for forever families at AAWL are:
- Vaccinated
- Spayed/neutered
- Microchipped for identification if lost
- Medically evaluated
- Treated for fleas/ticks
- Health insured for 30 days
Judith Gardner, President and CEO said, “Community partners like Desert Financial are an integral part of our lifesaving mission as Arizona’s oldest and largest no-kill shelter, and we appreciate their longtime support of AAWL.” No-kill shelters only euthanize animals if they’re terminally ill and otherwise work with partners to find homes for all animals in need of one.
Adoption Days are Nov. 12-15, but Desert Financial will continue to cover fees until each sponsored animal is adopted.
