“The Animal Welfare League and the Zimmer Biomet Veterans Resource Group are committed to providing Pets for Vets. During the recent AWL Stuff the Bus event, Zimmer Biomet team members donated items in support of the Animal Welfare League’s wish list. What a great way to support our community and our veterans!” said Zimmer Biomet Manufacturing senior engineer I Craig Hanes.
"We’re incredibly grateful for our continued partnership with Zimmer Biomet and truly appreciate the generous donations they helped gather for our shelter. Their ongoing support makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the animals we care for,” said AWL Adoption Specialist Brooke Lyon.
“I would like to recognize the Veterans Resource Group at Zimmer Biomet for coordinating our Stuff the Bus event for the Animal Welfare League, along with all our amazing team members that support AWL. Community support makes it possible to provide the necessary medical care, shelter and adoption services that our pets deserve. If you are in the market for a pet, please consider adopting, it’s the best gift that you can give our shelter pets,” said Zimmer Biomet Pricing Senior Director and AWL Board Member Mike Smith.
“Our Veterans Resource Group here at Zimmer Biomet believes in giving back to the community. We are honored to support the Animal Welfare League in its mission to protect and care for animals in need, and especially proud to contribute to their programs that directly support veterans through pet companionship, therapy initiatives and adoption assistance. We look forward to continued efforts through donations and volunteering with the Animal Welfare League,” said Zimmer Biomet Human Resource Director Angela Krebs.
