The Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC) participated in a pet adoption event in October 2023 at the Subaru of Pembroke Pines dealership. The shelter is so grateful to Subaru for its commitment to animal welfare as a whole, and pet adoptions in particular! We are thrilled to report that Duchess, a two-year-old Labrador Retriever who attended the event with her shelter volunteer foster dad, was adopted the following day by an attendee who had fallen in love with her at the dealership. Duchess was surrendered to HSBC in March 2023 severely injured; unfortunately, her family was not able to afford the surgical procedure that she needed nor any of the necessary follow up care and medications. Duchess had been hit by a car and had multiple areas of road rash and a left tibial fracture (a complete transverse fracture of the proximal shaft). As you can see from her attached shelter photo, she also had a large scar on her face. Duchess is an incredibly sweet dog who loves people, other dogs, and loves to give kisses. The Humane Society of Broward County staff was confident a home could be found for Duchess once she underwent surgery for her injuries. So, HSBC arranged for Duchess to undergo an orthopedic surgical procedure which she came through successfully. After a complete recovery, Duchess languished in the kennels until an HSBC volunteer in our Foster Care Program took her in to his family’s home in order to ensure a complete recovery and to work with her on basic obedience to enhance her adopt-ability. And it worked! Duchess is now living in a loving home and enjoying the life she so deserves.

For the month of October, Subaru of Pembroke Pines partnered with the Humane Society of Broward County for the national Subaru Loves Pets Campaign. Thanks to Subaru of America, Inc. and our local Subaru retailer, $100 per dog adopted, up to $3,100 was donated to help other animals at our shelter that are still looking for homes. One of those animals that this campaign impacted was Bucky. Fun-loving Bucky is nearly 2 years old and was transferred to the Humane Society of Broward County from a rural shelter so he could get the medical attention he desperately needed. X-rays were taken and the adorable American bulldog mix was suffering from a fractured front leg. Unfortunately, the fracture extended into the joint so the only option was to amputate. After undergoing surgery the HSBC veterinary team made sure Bucky was comfortable and tended to all his needs. Once he healed, it was time for Bucky to find his forever home. In late October his wish came true, and he is now the newest resident of Miramar. His family adores him and Bucky showers them with hugs and kisses. Thank you Subaru of Pembroke Pines for helping animals like Bucky find their forever homes.
During the month of October Subaru of Pembroke Pines partnered with the Humane Society of Broward County for the national Subaru Loves Pets campaign. Thanks to Subaru of America, Inc. and local dealership Subaru of Pembroke Pines, $100 was donated toward the adoption fee for every dog and cat adopted between October 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020, up to $3,100. Thank you Subaru of Pembroke Pines for being such a wonderful community partner! One pet adopted during October was adorable Nate. His human mom, Kim, sent the Humane Society of Broward County a post-adoption update stating: “Nate is sweet, curious, energetic and a lovable pup. We're becoming good friends. He is also having a good time meeting his new neighbors and exploring his neighborhood.” Nate now has the perfect home. Prior to making his way to south Florida's Humane Society of Broward County, Nate was housed with a pet rescue group in Puerto Rico where there are not many opportunities for finding a loving home through adoption. He was given lots of TLC in Puerto Rico by the rescue volunteers, but for him to have the best life and a forever home where he could be spoiled, he - along with several other animals - were flown to the Humane Society of Broward County. Upon arrival each pet was given a wellness check and vaccinations if needed. Every animal is spayed or neutered before leaving our shelter for their new home. Working with Subaru of Pembroke Pines, the Humane Society of Broward County was able to feature a different pet each week on their social media channels throughout the month of October to introduce the community to the wonderful pets in need of homes. We are happy to report that Nate has settled into his new home. Thank you Subaru of Pembroke Pines for your continuing support of our four-legged furry friends!
Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital is grateful for the relationship with Subaru of Pembroke Pines. Both serve the individuals and families in the community, and this is a prime example of collaboration. Funds raised from the Subaru Share the Love campaign are allocated toward the expansion of the children's hospital's four additional floors. This expansion is crucial to meet the growing needs of the community that both Subaru and JDCH serve. Every dollar donated helps us expand, enhancing leading-edge technology to continuously improve quality and safety, and provide support to patients and families. Never has healthcare been more important in daily life. Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital treats over 360,000 pediatric patients each year in an internationally recognized healthcare system. The Share the Love dollars are an important part of this. Subaru of Pembroke Pines supports JDCH throughout the year. With an understanding of the importance of safety, Subaru of Pembroke Pines and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital partner in "Operation KidSafe." This day, hosted at SPP, includes car seat safety checks, the JDCH Mobile Heath Van provides flu shots and vaccinations and other information on services the help protect children and families. Reaching out to make a difference in the lives of patient directly, SPP come to both Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital and Memorial Healthcare System's oncology departments during their Annual Blanket and Craft Kit Drive. Partnering the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Subaru General Manager, Duane Massa, personally comes out to help distribute countless packages filled with craft kits and blankets to each patient in the unit, bringing smiles to patients during an otherwise difficult time of facing cancer. During the holidays, SPP provides dinner on Christmas Eve for the patients, families, and staff in the JDCH Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. This is very much appreciated and looked forward to, as it has become a tradition, "sharing the love" and making a difference. We like to think that as one of the largest public healthcare systems in the country that we take care of the community’s health, including the employees of SPP. As one of the largest employers in South Florida, we also believe that many of our employees rely on SPP to keep their families driving safe. The Subaru Share the Love Campaign and the support throughout the year impacts the ability of JDCH to provide quality healthcare and treat patients and families through healing the body, mind, and spirit.
On July 10th Subaru of Pembroke Pines and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Southern Florida had the pleasure of delivering 80 blankets to Memorial Cancer Institute and 30 arts & craft kits to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital as part of the Subaru Loves To Care program. These comforting gifts were accompanied by personalized messages of hope written by the customers and staff of Subaru of Pembroke Pines.

Quality and caring service is important in the auto industry. It makes an auto owner, no matter the worth of their car, feel important and respected. It makes them want to come back. Subaru takes this philosophy to a higher level. Their commitment to give back to the community makes a difference and they have shown that childhood cancer is important and deserves attention. As a sponsor of I Care I Cure’s Childhood Cancer Foundation, Subaru of Pembroke Pines has demonstrated their commitment to help raise awareness and funds for research for targeted and less toxic cures and treatments for childhood cancer. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children in the US. For children that survive, 74% will suffer some sort of chronic illness or shortened lifespan due to the treatments that were used to fight their cancer. Less than 4% of federal funds allocated for cancer research go towards childhood cancer. Private funding is critical and businesses and philanthropists enable foundations to fund research, giving children the hope of leading healthier and longer lives. ICIC has funded over $1.5 million in research thanks to community support and collaborates with other childhood cancer foundations around the country by matching funds and sharing of resources, strengthening the impact of each gift that is donated. Working together with the community, businesses and other like minded organizations will make the difference in saving lives of children with cancer.
