Subaru Hosts ASPCA Pet Adoption At NYC Auto Show

The ASPCA is the longest-standing animal welfare organization in North America and serves as the nation's leading voice for animals in crisis. Taking place at the Subaru exhibit on Level One inside the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, this first-of-its-kind event is aimed at finding homes for pets in the greater New York City area.

Those who visit the exhibit will have the opportunity to adopt and take home a dog or puppy through the ASPCA's standard adoption process. Exhibit attendees are also encouraged to make rope toys as a donation to the ASPCA Adoption Center or for their own pet, as well as create custom pet tags using the Subaru Loves Pets engraver. All activities at the Subaru booth will be complimentary, with donations and proceeds benefiting the ASPCA.

"The love of pets is an essential pillar of our Subaru Love Promise, and we're proud to partner with the ASPCA to advance that mission," said Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President, Marketing of Subaru of America, Inc. "We hope that together, we can unite our furry friends with loving homes in the New York City metro area while bringing awareness to the necessity of caring for shelter animals."

Attendees to the auto show are invited to interact with these playful pups during select times and dates, as outlined below:

  • Friday April 19th: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
  • Saturday, April 20th: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

"The ASPCA is grateful for our 11-year-partnership with Subaru, which has impacted more than 57,000 animals though ASPCA rescue operations, animal relocation programs, and adoption support across the country," said Matt Bershadker, President & CEO, ASPCA. "In 2018 alone, Subaru raised more than $2.9 million for the ASPCA, making a life-changing difference in the lives of 6,758 animals, and we couldn't ask to share this success with a more dedicated or generous partner than Subaru." 

All adopters are subject to standard ASPCA adoption guidelines and procedures. Prospective adopters must be 18 years of age or older and should bring a photo ID and be prepared to fill out an application for adoption. Visitors can also check out the ASPCA Mobile Adoption Van, which will be parked onsite. To learn more about the adoption process, visit aspca.org/adopt.
