Ferguson Subaru has been a long-time sponsor of the Bark Walk for many reasons. The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma uses donations raised during the event towards a cause we deeply care about - animal rescue.

But, as an added bonus, we also get to meet dozens of four-legged friends and their proud owners.

5th Annual Bark Walk

According to The Humane Society of the United States, "An estimated 2.7 million healthy shelter pets are not adopted each year, and only about 30 percent of pets in homes come from shelters or rescues." [1]

We love our pets here at Ferguson Subaru. Both our Subaru showroom and Subaru service department are pet-friendly facilities. Being the animal lovers we are, it hurts to hear statistics such as the one above. We believe in fighting for those without a voice. Animal rescue and animal cruelty awareness are two major pillars in our company's identity. Lucky for us, our dealership has a brand that is equally committed to animal rescue. Subaru of America has been a long time partner of the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The ASPCA is the leading animal welfare organization in the North America. That's why we are proud to work with local organizations like the Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma.
