Subaru has always stood for more than just building great vehicles -- it's a brand that genuinely cares about the things that matter most to its drivers, including their pets. At Salina Subaru, your trusted Subaru dealership in Salina, we're proud to bring that commitment to life through the Subaru Loves Pets® initiative, a nationwide program dedicated to improving the lives of shelter animals and helping them find loving forever homes.
Whether you're a lifelong animal lover or simply looking for a vehicle roomy enough for your four-legged co-pilot, you'll find that Subaru and its mission align closely with the values of pet owners across central Kansas and beyond.
What Is Subaru Loves Pets?
Subaru believes that every pet deserves a warm, safe and loving home. Through the Subaru Loves Pets® initiative, Subaru and its retailers work hand-in-hand with local animal welfare organizations to make that belief a reality. Grants administered through the ASPCA help fund efforts to prepare shelter animals for adoption, giving pets a better shot at finding the right family.
Every October, Salina Subaru participates in Subaru Loves Pets events right here at our store, partnering with local shelters to raise awareness and support adoption efforts. These events are open to the community -- including pet owners near Hutchinson who want to get involved in something truly meaningful. It's one of the many ways we go beyond the lot to show up for the people and animals who call this region home.
