Mounds would like to congratulate Christa Lecesse on being our May Employee of the Month. Christa has been working in the pet food industry for seven years. She began working for Mounds at our Sun Prairie location and was quickly promoted to a Lead Sales Associate. Recently, Christa was promoted to Manager at our Sun Prairie location. Christa is very hard working, imaginative and always on the go. Christa is always working on projects around the store: She recently reset many of the food and accessory aisles. She also added lots of new shelf talkers in the food aisles, to help educate customers about the benefits of the many brands we carry. Christa is an accomplished Ferrier, and rides horses competively in pleasure and performance shows. Christa has two horses, two dogs, five cats and two lizards she cares for – that’s a house full! Thank you Christa for all of your hard work and dedication to the Mounds team.

My family adopted Sasha from the Dane County Humane Society. When we first got her we tried two different kinds of cat food. She did not tolerate them at all. She would eat and then throw up. While Sasha was at the shelter she was eating the Mounds Purrfect Cat food and did not have any problems. I read the ingredients and was impressed with the formula. Sasha loves the food and does not throw it up. We have been buying it ever since. Sasha is a people person. When my mom or I come home from work she comes to the garage door to greet us. She makes sure we work for her attention by running away and yowling if we don’t capture her. My dad made her a tower and stool which we call her throne. If you want to see the stare of death, try placing anything else on “Her Throne”. But alas, she is so sweet you cannot help but lover her.

     Green County Humane Society is a no-kill shelter located in Monroe, WI. For 35 years, the shelter was located in a cramped, dilapidated building. Many area shelters who had recently built new facilities were kind enough to invite us into their buildings and share with us the things that worked, that they wished they had done differently, and to offer support. While we know the kindness of fellow animal shelters, we were surprised at how quickly the community came together to offer their support. Within eighteen months of unveiling our plans for a new shelter, we moved into our beautiful 13,000 square foot facility. The generosity of so many individuals, companies and organizations was simply amazing!
