REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) — BrightSide Animal Center says it’s thrilled to partner with Subaru of Bend this October to celebrate Subaru Loves Pets Month, a nationwide campaign dedicated to helping shelter animals across the country.
In support of this mission, BrightSide is hosting a special “Name Your Own Adoption Fee” Day on Wednesday, October 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at BrightSide Animal Center, located at 1355 NE Hemlock Ave., Redmond. This special event allows potential adopters to choose their own adoption fee, helping pets find loving homes while making space for more animals in need at the shelter. As a nonprofit organization, BrightSide kindly recommends any amount of donation to support the ongoing care of animals and help save even more lives.
To further the impact, Subaru of Bend is hosting a month-long pet supply donation drive at their dealership located at 2060 NE Hwy 20, Bend, OR 97701. Donations of pet food, toys, leashes, blankets, cleaning supplies, and other essentials can be dropped off daily from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
On National Make A Dog’s Day – October 22, Subaru of Bend will welcome adoptable BrightSide pets onsite from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Visitors are invited to meet the animals and participate in our effort to “Fill a Subaru Ascent” with pet food and supplies for the shelter.
This event gives people a chance to give what they can and maybe a little extra to help the next pet in line.” said Savanah Wellman, Assistant Director at BrightSide Animal Center. We’re really hoping this event helps some of our long-term animals finally go home, like three of the huskies who came to us back in May from a neglect case. While they have received love and care here, what they truly need is a family and a place to call home.”
