Kindred Spirits! - Jen H
Our shelter has had the privilege of having a partnership with Subaru Bedford for several years. This is a team who truly supports not just the mission of our shelter, but more importantly, promotes advocacy and adoption for our shelter dogs. Cathy Burnstine, their BDC manager, and our point of contact, works tirelessly to support shelters across the area. She makes this an easy partnership. We always consider ourselves very lucky to have our dogs invited to the Bedford location for adoption events. It's a great afternoon out for the dogs and gets fresh eyes on them and the shelter as a whole. Can't say enough good things about this group of people!
