Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that thanks to its participating Subaru retailers and animal-loving customers and supporters, the October 2020 Subaru Loves Pets initiative achieved adoptions for 22,961 animals, with 16 percent of reported adoptions classified as dogs with special needs, affectionately known as “Underdogs.”
“Helping to unite pets with loving homes is one of the most rewarding aspects of our Subaru Loves Pets initiative, and we are thrilled to see more than 20,000 animals adopted,” Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO of Subaru of America, Inc. “Knowing that Underdogs face special challenges on their journeys to loving homes, we are especially proud to have impacted their lives for the better through this campaign.”
In October 2020, Subaru launched a nationwide campaign for its Subaru Loves Pets initiative to champion dogs everywhere, particularly those in shelters, culminating in the second annual National Make a Dog’s Day on October 22. To support the mission, nearly 519 participating Subaru retailers held or sponsored pet adoption events throughout the month, supporting more than 500 local shelters across the country.
As part of the 2020 Subaru Loves Pets campaign, the automaker championed the hard-to-adopt shelter dogs – including dogs with special needs, specifically senior dogs, amputees, visually and hearing-impaired dogs, and dogs with congenital disabilities and physical challenges. The long-standing devotion to the Subaru Loves Pets initiative is why, Subaru is proud to be More Than a Car Company.
