At Subaru, we have a long-standing commitment to loving pets. That’s why we’ve partnered with local animal welfare organizations to help over 230,000 pets in need across the country. We’ve also celebrated Subaru Loves Pets month by establishing a nationwide effort to help shelter dogs find loving homes – with special emphasis on the Underdogs with special needs. In addition, we’ve joined hands with local animal shelters to help with the adoption of thousands of shelter pets around the country.

They are often undervalued, but they always overdeliver on hugs, cuddles and snuggles.
Wuzzle is a senior dog with some mobility issues. But don’t be fooled into thinking dogs like her are pushovers. These seniors stand tall and proud for what they believe in – long walks, squeaky toys and tasty treats. Yeah, lots of tasty treats.
Sadly, Wuzzle passed away recently. She’ll be fondly remembered, and her memories will forever be cherished.
This is Seven. He may have lost an eye, but he didn’t lose any of his cuteness. And, like most one-eyed dogs, he can still go about his day chasing rabbits, digging holes and licking humans. Better yet, dogs like him can convincingly pull off a pirate’s look at a Halloween party. Aye, aye, captain!
Rhona, and other amputees like her, don’t care if they’re missing a leg. In fact, spend a day with them and you realize they don’t need all four to play fetch. Or chase you in the park. Or race with your neighbor’s dog. Or sprint at the first smell of bacon. You get the point. They love to run.
Here’s what some Subaru owners had to say about adopting and living with an Underdog. Expect love, laughter, and face licks.
“When she was still a puppy, she chewed a lot. After she chewed the wires on her owner’s trailer, they wanted to get rid of her. We were able to step in and adopt her. So now, she has a home and a family instead of being thrown away. She has turned us into a dog family. We spend more time at parks and walking. We really enjoy the outdoors more with her. We love playing tug of war. Sometimes I let her win.”
“It is very difficult to take care of a dog that has some trauma from the past. As difficult as it is, it is very rewarding to see progress. I struggle with anxiety as well, so sometimes I feel like Billy was meant to be with us. We are working through this together and it makes it all worth it when we see a big smile on his face every now and then.”
“She was very scared of the vet the first time she came to work with me, but REALLY loved all the people who were so excited to meet her. She would shake so much her teeth would chatter anytime she was in the treatment area or even the bathing room. But now, she's realized that all of her vets and technicians love her and she is safe. She trusts it now, although will sometimes show signs of being scared until we give her treats and love and she warms right back up!”
“Banjo is a busy guy, but has brought much joy to us and our little neighbor friends who would come to throw the ball with him. He loves to go for walks, race around the backyard playing fetch, and chase ice cubes around the kitchen floor.”
“The best thing about Rescue dogs is that they seem so grateful and that all they want to do is give LOVE back. I also helped my mother-in-law find a rescue chihuahua-Yorkie mix puppy. They love her like a little child. Whenever possible, we encourage people to adopt, because these dogs always have so much love to give and deserve a good home.”
“Sumo had a rough first year of life but has flourished into an amazing dog who loves people and other dogs. We gave him the time, space, and structure he needed to get comfortable in our home, and we reinforced his good behaviors! I encourage anyone who has been on the fence about adopting a dog to really consider it because you are truly saving a life!”
