Dakin Humane Society, Balise Subaru of Hadley Partner on Discounted Adoption Fees

SPRINGFIELD — Dakin Humane Society will partner with Balise Subaru of Hadley to offer discounted adoption fees for select dogs and cats at Dakin during the month of October as part of Subaru Loves Pets, a national Subaru initiative to support the lives of as many shelter animals as possible.

“We’re proud to partner with Dakin Humane Society to support their incredible work finding loving homes for animals in need,” said Joe Clark, general manager of Balise Subaru of Hadley. “Our showroom has always welcomed pet lovers, and this partnership is a meaningful way for us to give back and make a real difference. Subaru Loves Pets is one of our favorite initiatives because it connects our team, our customers, and the community through a shared love for animals.”

Dakin Humane Society organized the pet event in collaboration with Balise Subaru of Hadley to raise awareness of local pets in need. During October, Balise Subaru of Hadley and more than 630 Subaru retailers nationwide worked with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to provide grants to local partner shelters, resulting in more than $3 million in donations.

Subaru has donated more than $70 million since 2008 to national and local organizations that help in the adoption, rescue, transport, and health of more than 700,000 animals and pets.

In addition to hosting the pet adoption event, Balise Subaru of Hadley helped celebrate the seventh annual National Make a Dog’s Day by encouraging the local community to do something special for the dogs in their lives, adopt a shelter dog, or volunteer at an animal shelter and share the experience on social media using the hashtag #MakeADogsDay.
