[June 21, 2024, AUSTIN, TX] – United Heritage Credit Union (UHCU) is proud to announce its collaboration with Austin Pets Alive! (APA) to support pet adoption initiatives and animal welfare efforts in the community.

By partnering with APA, a leading animal welfare organization local to Austin, UHCU aims to facilitate pet adoptions, promote responsible pet ownership, and contribute to the well-being of animals in need.

"We are excited to announce our partnership with Austin Pets Alive! and introduce this unique initiative to our community," said Kevin Farley, Vice President of Experience and Engagement at United Heritage Credit Union.
