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!

Duane Massa, from Subaru of Pembroke Pines, has led these efforts for many years and stands as a true champion in the world of cancer care and research. It is with gratitude that the hospital and those involved from LLS follow his guidance to truly make a difference. We all benefit from the valiant efforts of this special brand called Subaru which spreads love, hope, and encouragement in everything they do!
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.

Subaru of Pembroke Pines chose "Homes for American Hereos" as it's hometown charity for our annual "Share the Love" event. HFAH assists our Military veterans who are in need of housing and basic staples in life and they are located in Hollywood, FL. Mr. Craig Zinn, Retailer Principal, agreed to match 100% of the money collected during the "Share the Love" event. Our store was able to generate $40,875 and with Mr. Zinn's match, we are proud to present them a total of $81,750!
