This October, Town Bank is proud to support the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), an open-admission, no-kill shelter dedicated to strengthening the relationship between animals and humans through adoption and education. 

One way we’re happy to support is with the help of our Junior Saver Club members, who are asked to color the “Buck Dollar” at the bottom of their monthly activity sheet and return it to the bank. For every Buck Dollar received, Town Bank will donate $1 to HAWS.

HAWS also holds a special place in our heart because that’s where we first met Buck, the mascot of our Junior Savers Club! We adopted Buck on the very first day we met him HAWS, and he’s been a big part of the Town Bank and Wintrust family ever since.

If you’re thinking about adopting an animal, we urge you to consider adopting from HAWS. And, who knows HAWS better than Buck? So, check out what Buck has to say about his former home.

What was it like at HAWS?
It was a lot of fun! I had lots of animal friends and we played all of the time. Some were bigger than me and others were smaller, but they were all really friendly! And, the staff members were so much fun too. They gave me lots of pets and treats!

How excited were you when Town Bank adopted you?
So excited! Can’t you see my tail wagging? Being at Town Bank is so much fun! I get to travel all over Wisconsin. Plus, Town Bank is a member of the Wintrust family, so I even get to go to Chicago sometimes. Traveling is so much fun!

And, every time I walk in the door all the bankers are so friendly and rub my belly whenever I roll over!

What are some of the important lessons you’ve learned since being adopted by Town Bank?
I’ve learned a lot about saving! Saving is very important because you never know what can happen in life and we need to be prepared.

Is there anything you miss about HAWS?
My friends! I left so many cute friends behind when Town Bank adopted me. I’m happy to be at Wintrust and love my new life, but I also miss my friends. HAWS has a lot of cute, cuddly animals like me who need a loving home. I hope that all my Junior Saver friends will consider calling HAWS animal friends a loving home!
