Jim Burke Subaru is giving comfort and warmth to those experiencing homelessness. - Cherita M
Imagine having to go without something as simple as a pair of socks, wondering how you’ll keep your feet warm and dry as it gets colder outside. It’s something many of us have never had to consider, but for millions of people experiencing homelessness each year, many of whom are children, this is often a reality they face. Jim Burke Subaru wants to help. During the month of February, Jim Burke Subaru and retailers across the country are helping to support those in need by providing one of the most requested items needed by those experiencing homelessness: socks. This small item, most of us take for granted, can truly have an enormous impact by providing comfort and maintaining the health of those experiencing homelessness.
Finding Love at Jim Burke Subaru - Catherine F
Shelby Humane's relationship with Jim Burke Subaru has played an essential role in advocating for adoptions and spreading awareness for homeless cats and dogs in Shelby County, Alabama. As Shelby Humane has reached a perilous situation of overcrowding putting homeless animals at-risk, we're so excited to announce that through the generous support of the Jim Burke Subaru Team seven homeless pets found their perfect, loving home on Saturday, October 8, 2022 during the Jim Burke Loves Shelby Humane Adoption Event! Thanks to Cherita McCants from Jim Burke Subaru in Birmingham, AL, we were able to provide adoption prep expenses for 30 pets, find forever homes for 7 pets, while also advocating for almost 800 cats and dogs seeking refuge at Shelby Humane! One of the precious lives that were changed due to the fantastic efforts of Jim Burke Subaru is that of a beautiful black and white mixed-breed dog named Rayna. Like many shelter pets, Rayna's journey had a rough beginning. When she was a baby, she won the hearts of her first owners by her adorable puppy features and personality. Unfortunately, as she grew into a medium sized dog, her owners didn't know how to care for her well and decided their best option was to chain her up outside. Rayna lived on a chain for the first year and a half of her life. Until one day everything changed, her owners had to move and couldn't take her with them so they graciously decided to surrender Rayna to Shelby Humane. At first the transition was devastating for her, she didn't understand why she was abandoned and became really depressed while living at the shelter. Things started looking up for Rayna when a foster family opened their home to her. Rayna quickly became the perfect house guest. “She loves to cuddle! She is house trained, and seems extremely grateful for the change in pace” her foster mom told Shelby Humane. Rayna's transition to her forever home came on October 8, 2022 when Jim Burke Subaru hosted a Subaru Loves Shelby Humane event. While at the event, Rayna found her forever home complete with other dogs to play and plenty of room to run as much as she wants! Rayna found love at Jim Burke Subaru! ** The first picture is of Rayna the day she was surrendered and the last picture is of Rayna with her new owner at Jim Burke Subaru!
