Team Autoblog<\/em> loves pets<\/a>. In fact, as soon as we saw this press release, we turned our internal Slack conversation into a virtual dog park, sharing the latest photos we’ve taken with our own furry friends. So when Subaru<\/a> announces that it helped find homes for more than 36,000 shelter pets during its most recent Subaru Loves Pets<\/a> month in October 2021, we’re honor bound to report it. Good on you, Subaru of America.<\/p>\n

This is the second year of the automaker’s now-annual Subaru Loves Pets month, and in total, it has helped rehome nearly 60,000 animals. But Subaru actually has a long and successful history with shelter animals; over the years, the automaker says it “has supported the rescue and adoption of nearly 350,000 animals nationwide.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank our Subaru retailers, partner shelters and all those who adopted a new pet this year for showing love to animals in need,” Alan Bethke, senior vice president of marketing for Subaru of America, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Last year, Subaru focused specifically on what it calls “hard-to-adopt shelter dogs \u2013 including dogs with special needs, specifically senior dogs, amputees, visually and hearing-impaired dogs, and dogs with congenital disabilities and physical challenges.”<\/p>\n

To further facilitate its pet-friendly nature, Subaru says more than 600 of its retailers held in-person or virtual adoption events in October last year. In total, Subaru retailers further donated nearly $1.64 million to local animal shelters in their communities.<\/p>\n
