Underdog Lucy Finds FURever Love - Shawn G - Shawn G
We’re so happy to partner with Subaru to highlight shelter dogs, especially underdogs like Lucy. This whippet mix was surrendered at age 7 and had a hard time adapting to the shelter environment. Timid by nature, she was terrified by all the unfamiliar noises, sights, and smells. Thanks to the care and patience of staff and volunteers, she opened up enough to go on walks and interact with visitors. Lucy was adopted during Subaru Loves Pets month by a family with a Greyhound, and she is now living her best life. Subaru’s campaign brought us extra visibility, just when Lucy needed it. Thank you, Subaru of Georgetown, for the generous funding AND awareness given to Georgetown Animal Shelter!
Red Poppy Kid's Charity Ride 2022 - Chris B
Subaru of Georgetown is proud to once again sponsor the Red Poppy Ride. The Red Poppy Ride benefits the SERTOMA scholarship program for Georgetown ISD and the Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center. This year the Red Poppy Ride was held on April 2nd, 2022. The ride started at Richarte High School, Georgetown, TX. There are five well-supported routes of approx. 12 miles (Family Circle), 29 miles, 40 miles, and 62 miles, so there’s something for everyone. All routes pedal through moderately flat terrain interspersed with rolling hills on the eastern side of Williamson County.
Dell Children's Hospital - Rick D
Patients battling blood cancer are in the fight of their lives. Every three minutes in the U.S., a new patient joins those diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. The recovery is long and often leaves them feeling weak, cold, and isolated. June 2022 marks the 7th year that Subaru has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to bring love and hope to these brave patients in the form of warm blankets and hand-written notes of encouragement. Subaru of Georgetown in Georgetown, TX, is proud to be a part of this effort. By the end of the year, Subaru and retailers across the nation will have delivered more than 230,000 blankets, 31,000 arts and crafts kits, and thousands of messages of hope, written by retailers and customers, to these patients carrying on their brave fight. We hope these blankets and messages will spread warmth, love, and hope where they’re needed most and will let these strong people and their families know we care. You can help bring hope to those battling cancer by stopping into Subaru of Georgetown to write a message of hope that will be delivered to patients in our community.

From Zero to Three Subarus - Donna C
In Feb 2021 we had never owned a Subaru. My son and daughter showed up at Subaru of Georgetown and met Spencer and truly...the rest is history! Outback purchased the same day, Forester the next day, and a Crosstrek two months later! Six months after my son rolled his Outback down a canyon in Utah AND SURVIVED! Needless to say we became Subaru lovers and believers!
Austin Wildlife Rescue - Hayley H
Austin Wildlife Rescue is so honored to be part of the Share the Love program! This year we have seen a significant increase in the number of orphaned and injured wild animals dropped off at our intake center. For the first time, we are on-track to care for over 10,000 animals from Austin and the surrounding counties. The generous funds from the Share the Love event (totaling $40,016!) helped us keep up with this unexpected increase. More animals, means more formula, food, and medical care and supplies. It also means more caging to accommodate these animals. We nearly ran out of cages this year and were able to purchase more because of Subaru. These cages are not cheap and as the cost of supplies and materials continues to increase, so does the price of each one. Thank you to everyone at Subaru of Georgetown for helping us care for so many wild animals this year!
Underdog Finds Forever Home - Shawn G
Courage lives up to his name. A true Underdog, he came to the Georgetown Animal Shelter from a home with neglectful living conditions and into a crowded shelter. Plus, as an American Bulldog mix, he falls into the general category of animals that are harder to adopt out. Once at the shelter, Courage overcame his initial shyness and flourished, but for six long weeks, visitors overlooked him amongst the noisier or maybe the fluffier dogs. Finally, after being featured during the Subaru Loves Pets event, Courage found his forever home. He wished us well and trotted off with his new family with barely a second glance. The animals at the shelter had a terrific month, thanks to Subaru of Georgetown featuring dogs and cats throughout the month and promoting adoption. 59 companion animals found their forever homes in October, bringing our total number of adoptions so far this year to 514. Thank you to Subaru of Georgetown for making a difference in the lives of homeless animals! We’re so grateful for everything they do to make our community a better place.
Hope Alliance - Subaru Loves to Help - Rick D
Through our Love Promise, a commitment to support our local communities, Subaru of Georgetown is proud to partner with Hope Alliance Women's Shelter by delivering water-resistant blankets and warm socks to help those in need this winter season. More than 500,000 Americans experience homelessness each night. Last November, as part of Subaru Loves to Help, Subaru of America and Subaru of Georgetown donated 50,000 warm blankets to local homeless shelters across the country. This November, we are doing it again, bringing our donation total to 100,000 blankets donated. And in addition to more blankets, we will also be donating 50,000 pairs of socks, all to help those in need. Showing warmth and compassion for those who find themselves without a roof over their heads this season is just one of the ways Subaru of Georgetown is doing even more to make a difference.

Ruby Finds Furever Love - Gtown Animal Shelter - Shawn G
We know that Subaru of Georgetown works to make our community a better place, in part by supporting local nonprofits. In October 2020, we saw that commitment at a more personal level when Subaru of Georgetown selected the Georgetown Animal Shelter as its partner for Subaru Loves Pets. In addition to donating $100 for each animal adopted during the month, Subaru of Georgetown featured our dogs and cats that were looking for new families. The most poignant story from among the featured pets was Ruby. Ruby came to the Georgetown Animal Shelter in August after being saved from carbon monoxide poisoning and resuscitated by emergency responders. Happily, her neglectful owner agreed to surrender Ruby in her best interest. Staff evaluated her general health, updated her vaccinations, gave her a behavior assessment test, and put her up for adoption…where she sat for almost three months, watching other dogs come and go. Ruby was harder to adopt out because she was very reactive to other animals, plus she had heartworms. Finally, after months of promoting her and shortly after she was featured by Subaru of Georgetown, Ruby’s perfect person noticed her and came to adopt her. We were thrilled, needless to say, and so was Ruby and her new human. Thank you, Subaru of Georgetown, for featuring homeless animals like Ruby and increasing their visibility among potential adopters. We deeply appreciate your partnership.
