Ferguson Subaru Makes Donation to the Broken Arrow Animal Shelter

Broken Arrow, OK., December 5, 2018 –


In an effort to support animal welfare and work to make a positive impact, Ferguson Subaru supported the Broken Arrow Animal Shelter by providing pet supplies that will keep shelter animals happy, healthy and ready for a safe and loving home. The donation was made as part of a larger Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) initiative called “Subaru Loves Pets.” 

Throughout the month of October, Ferguson Subaru asked our team-members, our Subaru customers, and the Greater Tulsa-Metro public to help collect much needed pet supplies. Items asked for included pet food, collars, leashes, towels, blankets, grooming supplies, and water bowls. Ferguson Subaru also provided “Shelter Supply Kits,” which included items such as toys, reusable water and food bowls, wipes, etc. 

Since 2015, Subaru retailers across the country, including Ferguson Subaru, have partnered with local animal welfare organizations through the Subaru Loves Pets initiative to impact over 109,000 animals in need. 

At Ferguson Subaru, we are committed to keeping all animals—including those in shelters—safe and healthy. The Subaru Loves Pets initiative reflects our goals to improve animal welfare and the lives of those in our community.

Ferguson Subaru Sponsors 8th Annual Bark Walk & Pet Fest

One of our most favorite, yearly events is the annual Bark Walk. The Bark Walk is a fundraising event hosted by The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma. Ferguson Subaru has been a Bark Walk sponsor for over 7 years! 2017 marked the 8th Annual Bark Walk & Pet Fest, and once again Ferguson Subaru was a "Top Dog" presenting sponsor! 

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. Funds raised from Bark Walk help support The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma by allowing the organization to save the lives of homeless animals and help promote animal welfare in our community. But, as an added bonus, we also get to meet dozens of four-legged friends and their proud owners. 

This year's Bark Walk was held in Central Park, in downtown Broken Arrow. The event included the annual 1 mile walk around the park, and the popular PetFest; which featured a KidsZone with a bounce house, face painting and more, lots of vendors, food trucks, pet adoptions and much more!

Each year we bring some of our newest Subaru models to the event. This year, Ferguson Subaru brought the new 2017 Subaru Forester, and the new 2017 Subaru Outback Touring. The 2017 Outback Touring features a dark gray grille and a new Java Brown perforated leather-trimmed upholstery with contrasting ivory stitching.Learn more about the 2017 Subaru Outback Touring here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsQb0KtlX-c

Ferguson Subaru Sponsors Another Great Bark Walk

Since the year 2000, Ferguson Subaru has been a presenting sponsor of the annual Bark Walk. Once again, Ferguson Subaru was at the 2016 TBRO Bark Walk! This year we brought out a red 2016 Subaru Forester, a blue 2016 Subaru Outback, and a white 2016 Subaru BRZ. 

 

The Tulsa Bark Walk is a fun-filled family event held every year, in April. The event includes pet adoptions, food trucks, $20 microchipping, and even has a kids zone! The past two years TBRO has held the event at Chisholm Trail South, next to the NSU Broken Arrow campus. The event is a wagging' good time for the whole family, and Ferguson Subaru is proud to be a long-time sponsor of the event. 

TBRO is a 501(c)3 non-profit; volunteer ran organization committed to rescuing unwanted and abandoned purebred Boxers in the state of Oklahoma. According to the group's Facebook page, they started out rescuing dogs on a small scale in the Tulsa area, and grew to become a statewide organization. TBRO, "rescues nearly 400 Boxers a year from all over the state of Oklahoma. Many of our dogs available for adoption and our foster homes are located in Oklahoma City, as well as Tulsa." 

Funds raised from Bark Walk help support The Boxer Rescue of Oklahoma by allowing the organization continue to save the lives of homeless animals and help promote animal welfare.
