Hunter Subaru continues to shine their philanthropic spirit this October with the Subaru Loves Pets initiative.
During the month of October, the Subaru Loves Pets initiative showcases their commitment to pets by donating $100 for every pet adopted during the month to local partner shelters across the country (up to 31 adoptions per shelter). Blue Ridge Humane Society has partnered with Hunter Subaru again this year for the program. Hunter Subaru is additionally highlighting animals available for adoption at Blue Ridge Humane through their social media channels to raise awareness for local animals looking for their next home.
Blue Ridge Humane Society will be kicking off Subaru Loves Pets month with Hunter Subaru at the WLOS Pet Project event on Friday, October 1, 12pm-7pm at Hunter Subaru at 220 Hunter Airport Drive in Fletcher, with adoptable animals, organization info, and entertainment.
Additionally, as part of Subaru Loves Pets month, Subaru is celebrating National Make A Dog’s Day and inviting all dog lovers to do something extra special for their favorite canine on October 22nd. Locally, you can consider adopting now. Sam, Boogie, and Janessa are all currently waiting to find their new home at Blue Ridge Humane Society! If you can’t adopt, share posts with your friends or social groups. You can also donate supplies, make enrichment toys, and of course, volunteer! To learn more about opportunities with BRHS visit https://www.blueridgehumane.org/get-involved/. So mark the calendar, treat your dog, treat an adoptable dog, and share #MakeADogsDay all month long.
Subaru believes in being More Than a Car Company and one way that they demonstrate this is through their commitment to the health and welfare of pets, as shown by our amazing partnership with Hunter Subaru at the local level! Thank you Hunter Subaru for partnering with Blue Ridge Humane to #makeadogsday!
