“We welcome our new partnership with Subaru Hawaii and appreciate their recognition of the many ongoing needs of Hawaii Island Humane Society,” said Donna Whitaker, executive director of Hawaii Island Humane Society. “We look forward to working with Subaru Hawaii for years to come as we all strive to promote respect for all animals, prevent cruelty to animals, eliminate pet overpopulation, and enhance the bond between humans and animals.”

“We are delighted to launch Subaru Hawaii ’s Share the Love sales event and give back to the community,” said Glenn Inouye, Senior Vice President, Servco representing the Subaru Hawaii Dealers. “We feel that this promotion will be a win-win for Subaru owners, customers and local non-profit partners. Subaru owners are active members in their local communities and with this program it’s our goal to recognize and celebrate some of those varied groups during the holiday season.”

In addition to its monetary donation, Subaru Hawaii dealers on Hawaii Island will be hosting promotional adoption and collection events.

The public is encouraged to “Share the Love” during this holiday season by donating pet care supplies such as food, leashes, collars or puppy pads at Subaru, when the Hawaii Island Humane Society will be on-site to find loving homes for Big Island animals during the adoption event.
