Nationwide Support for Animal Shelters
The 2025 campaign brings unprecedented support to animal shelters across the country. With a substantial commitment of over $3.1 million in grants through the ASPCA, Subaru is helping shelters cover essential costs including veterinary care, adoption preparation, and operational expenses.
Microchipping and Adoption Events
Throughout October, participating Subaru retailers will host various events featuring:
- Pet adoption opportunities
- Free microchipping services
- Pet parent starter kits for new adopters
- Adoption fee support and waivers
Focus on "Underdogs" and Special Needs Pets

This focus particularly aligns with National Make a Dog's Day on October 22, creating special opportunities for these deserving animals to find loving homes.

The partnership between Subaru and the ASPCA demonstrates how businesses can effectively support community pet adoption programs. By providing financial assistance and hosting events, the initiative helps reduce shelter overcrowding while ensuring adopted pets receive proper care and attention.
Resources for New Pet Parents
Adopters participating in Subaru Loves Pets events receive comprehensive support, including:
- Educational materials about pet care
