Mountain America Saves Over 160 Pets at the Humane Society of Utah During Free Adoption Event

As a long-standing supporter of the Humane Society of Utah, Mountain America Credit Union is committed to saving as many animals as possible. Over the past several years, we've saved hundreds of pets through our Pet of the Week program.

In 2018, Mountain America asked the Humane Society how we could help save even more pets as an estimated 32,000 cats and dogs are homeless in Utah. As a result, Mountain America partnered with the Humane Society of Utah to present the “Fall in Love” adoption event over Thanksgiving weekend. During the event, nearly all of the pets at the Humane Society of Utah were adopted, with 140 pets finding homes. 

With the 2018 “Fall in Love” event being a huge success, Mountain America continued its support of the event for 2019. This year’s “Fall in Love” event was moved to the Saturday before Thanksgiving to help pets find homes before the holidays. During the one-day event on November 23, 2019, 163 pets were adopted. The available space allows the Humane Society of Utah to save hundreds more homeless pets by accepting additional owner-surrendered animals and animals from overcrowded shelters.
