As part of its ongoing commitment to the community, Subaru of Pembroke Pines will host its annual Dog Appreciation “Pawty” and Pet Adoption Event on Sunday, Oct. 27, from 12-2 p.m. with special guest, Tour with Teddy. Guests are invited to bring their furry friends to celebrate Subaru Loves Pets® Month with music, food, giveaways and a pet costume contest. Pet retailer Pet Supplies Plus and groomer Scenthound will also be present.

The event is part of Subaru Loves Pets®, a national Subaru initiative that aims to support the lives of as many shelter animals as possible. For those who are yet to be pet parents, Subaru of Pembroke Pines invites guests to consider adopting a pet from the Humane Society of Broward County, who will be present with a selection of pets available for adoption. The Humane Society of Broward County will benefit from a $100 donation from Subaru of Pembroke Pines for each day that a pet is adopted throughout the month of October.

The community is invited to enjoy this free family-friendly event that features fun for all ages, including a “wrapped” Subaru vehicle that kids can color on and a photo booth with silly props. Dog trainers from the Humane Society of Broward County, doggie treats and other community partners will be present to join the fun. In addition to the exciting activities planned, Subaru of Pembroke Pines has been hosting a monthly Pet of the Month social media contest. All winners are invited to the event and will receive a golden retriever plush toy. These plush toys can also be purchased for a minimum donation of $10, with proceeds benefiting the animal-assisted therapy endowment at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, an initiative by the Craig Zinn Automotive Group. At the event, the Pet of the Year winner will be announced, with the grand prize recipient receiving a $100 gift card to use at the pet store of the winner’s choice. This monthly contest has encouraged participants to showcase its pet’s unique personalities, with the winning pet being recognized for its outstanding qualities and featured as a highlight of the celebration.

According to the ASPCA®, almost 6.5 million animals enter shelters nationwide each year. Subaru is committed to helping all animals — including those in shelters — stay safe and healthy.
