ASPCA® Joins the Subaru Share the Love® Event as National Charity Partner for 17th Year

NEW YORK - For the seventeenth year in a row, the ASPCA®(The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) has been selected as a national charity partner in the Subaru Share the Love® Event to help support thousands of animals in need across the country. From November 21, 2024, through January 2, 2025, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle, purchased or leased, to the customer's choice of participating local and national charities, including the ASPCA*.

Since the partnership's inception in 2008, Subaru has donated more than $38 million to the ASPCA, which has helped support the rescue, care, and adoption of more than 134,000 animals nationwide.

"We're grateful to Subaru for their long-standing support of the ASPCA and their dedication to the well-being of shelter pets across the country. Partnering with a corporation with shared values, like Subaru, empowers us to find new ways to help animals in need across the country," said Matt Bershadker, President & CEO of the ASPCA. "With help from Subaru, we are able to reach many more pets and their owners. Together, we've helped more than 134,000 animals in the U.S., and we look forward to furthering our collective impact through the 2024 Subaru Share the Love Event."

The funding received from the 2023 Subaru Share the Love Event helped support ASPCA facilities across the country, including the ASPCA Cruelty Recovery Center in Columbus, Ohio, and the ASPCA Community Veterinary Clinics in New York City and Miami. The ASPCA Cruelty Recovery Center is a permanent facility dedicated to the recovery of some of the country's most vulnerable animals, including those rescued from large-scale animal cruelty situations such as hoarding, animal fighting, and puppy mills, as well as emergency situations like hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. The ASPCA Community Veterinary Clinics provide basic and preventative veterinary services to underserved pet owners, helping to make veterinary care more affordable and accessible nationwide and improve the health and welfare of dogs and cats.

Most recently, in response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, Subaru supported the ASPCA's emergency sheltering efforts in Conover, North Carolina, which includes caring for displaced homeless and stray animals in need of temporary housing as the surrounding community continues to recover.
