October is recognized as Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and Subaru of Portland is emphasizing this initiative with their ongoing partnership with the Oregon Humane Society. During a recent event, an 11-week-old puppy named Pumpkin made an appearance alongside Tyler Boucher, Love Promise Champion at Subaru of Portland, and Laura Klink from the Oregon Humane Society. They highlighted the importance of pet adoption and the need for support for shelters and rescue organizations.

The ASPCA reported that approximately 5.8 million animals entered U.S. shelters last year, underscoring the urgent demand for adoption. On Thursday, October 22, Subaru of Portland will celebrate its eighth annual National Make a Dog’s Day, an occasion created to encourage dog lovers to engage in special activities with their pets. The dealership is also advocating for the adoption of 'underdogs'—including older dogs and those with disabilities—and is facilitating this by offering fostering and adoption opportunities.
Furthermore, Subaru of Portland is donating both dog and cat kits to support the Oregon Humane Society. The organization also stresses that it provides various services beyond animal adoption, aimed at assisting pets and their caretakers throughout their lives. Currently, there is a critical need for more homes for puppies and young, large dogs, along with guidance on the care requirements for puppies like Pumpkin.
