The Subaru Loves Pets® campaign isn't just about numbers; it's about the countless wagging tails, purrs, and snuggles that now fill homes across the country. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering dedication of over 600 Subaru retailers, including Timmons Subaru, and our incredible shelter partners.
Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc., expressed his gratitude, stating, "Subaru is dedicated to supporting animals in need, including helping to unite thousands of shelter pets with their forever homes nationwide every October. Achieving over 52,000 pet adoptions in a single month would not have been possible without the support of our committed retailers, compassionate shelter partners, and everyone who embraced pet ownership in October."
During the campaign, our dealership and others across the nation hosted adoption events in collaboration with local animal shelters. For every pet adopted during October, participating retailers, like Timmons Subaru, made a $100 donation to their partner shelter. Additionally, Subaru contributed to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) with purchases of select Subaru Pet-Friendly Accessories and Animal badges through Subaru Badge of Ownership.
The impact of Subaru Loves Pets® extends far beyond the month of October. Since the initiative's inception, Subaru and its retailers have supported the adoption of over 157,000 shelter pets. Moreover, Subaru's commitment to animal welfare goes back even further, with initiatives dating back to 2008. Over the years, Subaru has positively impacted the lives of over 480,000 animals and donated more than $52 million to national and local pet organizations.
But the work doesn't stop here. At Timmons Subaru of Long Beach, we're dedicated to continuing our support for our four-legged friends year-round. We encourage our community to join us in advocating for shelter pets and considering adoption when looking to add a furry companion to their family. We recommend Friends of Long Beach Animals at folba.org.
