Not only is First Farmers dedicated to serving our customers, we are also willing to go above and beyond for our four legged friends as well! Ashley Howell and Stephanie Koepke from our Kokomo North branch were able to save a lab puppy from running out onto the busy highway on February 20.
Stephanie noticed the puppy roaming around in the parking lot and decided that it was probably alright to leave it be, until she saw her walking out towards US 31! Acting quickly, Stephanie ran out and was able to keep the pup from the road. She and Ashley kept her in the branch until they could locate the owner.
Ashley states that this was quite a task because the owner could not be found even after multiple Facebook posts, local radio announcements, and even calling local vets. Nothing. Belle, as they began to call her, was quickly turning into another member of their bank family. She was very well behaved and sat quietly while the employees had work to do. Eventually, Ashley was able to track down the owner of the puppy. They were extremely excited to have her back home safely.
It just goes to show, that community service can be shown in many different ways. Way to go girls!.
