Over and Above - Lorie H

In 2018 I purchased a used 2016 Subaru Crosstrek and part of the deal was a hot wheel car of the same model. That was a gift to my grandson who was 4 at the time. That car was his favorite! So he has rubbed off all of the paint from all the times he carried it around. So he is 7 now. All he asked me for his birthday was another Subaru hot wheel. So I emailed Lansing Subaru and Wes Pandoff answered that email right away. They had one in stock. I was leaving NC that week to be at my grandson's birthday. So Wes shipped that toy overnight and made it in time to be opened by a very excited autistic 7 year old. And as usual it was in his hand as he laid his head on his pillow. Wes made this boy's birthday very special. Wes went over and above. Made my day. And I know when I need another car guess where I am going?

No One Deserves This - Anne E

Early in October, a concerned citizen called a county animal control stating that a cat was outside with her front leg caught in a trap. When animal control responded, they discovered a small adult cat dragging her leg, with the trap still attached, down the road. She was crying in pain. The officers immediately brought her to the Capital Area Humane Society, where our medical team was waiting to evaluate her. Once the trap was removed, it left a large gaping wound, down to her tendon. Unfortunately, gangrene had already set in, and her foot could not be saved. In order for her to survive, our veterinary staff needed to amputate her entire front leg. This sweet girl was given the name Kozue, and she made an incredible recovery. It wasn't long before a staff member at CAHS fell in love with this amazing and resilient cat and quickly adopted her. Her new family renamed her Flora and helped nurse her back to health. Flora has brought love and joy to her new family, and they are so grateful to have the opportunity to give a safe and loving home to this miracle kitty.

Subaru Loves Pets - Julia W

We are overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, and support from our local Subaru dealer, Williams Subaru. They are genuinely invested in animal welfare and are always looking for ways to support the homeless pets in our community. The love for pets radiates throughout their dealership. When shelter animals stop by for a visit, they are right at home with the wonderful staff who clearly understand the important role pets play in the human experience. Whether they are hosting an adoption event, providing our organization with a vehicle to transport animals to adoption locations, sponsoring our Walk for the Animals and annual gala, or collecting much needed donations for the shelter, we can always count on our local Subaru dealer to be there for the pets in our community. When you hear that "Subaru Loves Pets" you see that in action at Williams Subaru. We are incredibly grateful for all that they do for the Capital Area Humane Society.

Elphaba's Perfect Home - Anne E

Elphaba arrived to the shelter as a stray and was very unhappy. She was matted, had bad knees, and her skin was irritated and uncomfortable from being outside. Elphaba made a few friends at the shelter, but she didn't allow very many people to touch her. Our behavior staff wanted to give her a break from the shelter and sent to a foster home to see if she would warm up in a home environment. Once she left the shelter, her foster mom fell in love and Elphaba became a normal, happy dog! Her foster mom introduced Elphaba to her parents and her fate was sealed. As soon as she was cleared medically, Elphaba was adopted by her foster mom's parents and she has never looked back! Her new owners are "obsessed" with her! She is living a life of luxury and will be heading down south to spend the winter in Florida. Elphaba's foster mom and adoptive family wanted to thank Subaru and the employees at the Capital Area Humane Society for all of their hard work and dedication for every animal that walks through the door!
