We are excited to accept the first-ever Corporate Compassion Award on behalf of not only Subaru and our retailers, but also for our Subaru community who is devoted to helping all animals feel safe and loved.” The annual ASPCA Humane Awards honors people and organizations who have gone above and beyond to support and make significant strides to improve animal welfare, as well animal heroes who help humans or other animals in extraordinary ways.

Dedicated to helping all pets find homes, Subaru drives awareness for the hardest-to-adopt shelter dogs, the older, deaf, blind and “different” dogs that are lovingly called the “Underdogs,” through its annual [National Make a Dogs’ Day](https://www.subaru.com/makeadogsday) initiative, celebrated on October 22, reinforcing the automaker’s commitment to be More Than a Car Company.™ “For the past thirteen years, our partnership with Subaru has helped tens of thousands of vulnerable animals around the country,” said Matt Bershadker, President and CEO of the ASPCA. “We are grateful to Subaru for their sustained commitment to helping animals in need and are proud to honor them with the 2021 ASPCA Corporate Compassion Award.” For more information on the 2021 Humane Awards, please visit [www.ASPCA.org/2021HAL](http://www.aspca.org/2021HAL).
