Findlay Subaru presents a $14,500 check to Southwest Utah Wildlife Rescue - Curtis W
We had the opportunity to present our Subaru Share the Love® Event check to Southwest Utah Wildlife Rescue in front of 150 people at a bird watchers convention. This donation will continue to help them build a wildlife rescue rehabilitation center that will help care for injured animals that have been rescued. Southwest Utah Wildlife rescue is on call 24 hours a day to rescue all types of wildlife that have been injured, struck by a vehicle, nuisance to land owners or farmers or assisting the State of Utah with wildlife needs. This has been a great cause and one that pairs perfectly with Subaru's "leave no mark" mentality when out among wildlife.
Subaru Loves to Help Sock Donation - Curtis W
We volunteer at the Switchpoint food kitchen and have discovered a need for locals needing clothing. We knew that the sock donation would be well received and fill a large need in our community.
RSQ/ Findlay Subaru St. George/ Dexter - Kelli S
At RSQ Animal Rescue Team in St. George, we look forward to the month of October and our partnership with Findlay Subaru St. George. The support we have received from Findlay Subaru has been such a blessing to the Animals in our program. RSQ takes in some of the most difficult medical cases in Utah from our outlying rural communities. Dexter is just one of the many “under dogs” that RSQ has saved from terrible situations. And lucky for Dexter, he found his fur-ever home during the Subaru Loves Pets event! Dexter is a senior dog who has lived a life of neglect. He had not known love or kindness or even the simplest of care. He came into the RSQ program very thin, with parasites, severe eye, ear, and skin infections underneath some of the worst matting we have ever seen. It took several days of grooming to get him cleaned up. And weeks of quiet and gentle handling to earn his trust. With the continued support from the Findlay Subaru of St. George and the Subaru Loves Pets Charity, Dexter received all of the medical care he needed and has now found his perfect home where he will be loved and spoiled for the rest of his life. We wanted to say Thank you again to Findlay Subaru of St. George and Dax Vandenberghe for hosting our amazing October 22nd adoption event at the dealership. Our animals and volunteers all had so much fun and we had over 30 adoptions! One of your employees even adopted one of our cats! Congratulations to Robert Newcomb on your adoption of Fritter. Thank you again and we are excited to do this event next year. -RSQ Animal Rescue Team-
RSQ Rescue Pet Adoption Event - Curtis W

Findlay Subaru Raises $24,000 for two local charities at Charity Golf Tournament - Karyn K
Findlay Subaru St. George was able to raise $24,000 at their annual charity golf tournament this year, benefitting two local charities: the Washington County School District Foundation (WCSDF) and Neighborhood Connection. These charities both benefit underprivileged children in the Washington County area. WCSDF not only provides resources required for a quality education that are not provided through traditional funding sources, but through their new "Counselor's Closet" program, they also provide clothing, food, and other resources needed for children in need. Neighborhood Connection is a non-profit organization dedicated to fight childhood hunger. They provide supplemental weekend food for school children who qualify for school breakfast & lunch programs. Findlay Subaru is proud to partner with these two charities for their 11th Annual Charity Golf Tournament.
Making Rescuing Critters Possible - Susan T
Dear Findlay Subaru St. George, We wanted to let you know what a difference you make to the wild eagles, hawks, falcons, owls & so many other species of wildlife here in Utah. Your generous donations to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah over the past nine years has totaled over $80,000 and has helped us care for hundreds of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife and get them returned to health and released back into the wild where they belong. Our incredibly dependable Subaru Forester provides us with the reliable transportation we need to help us rescue so many critters. Just this summer we got a call from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) that we needed to drive 100 miles to an alfalfa farm between Filmore and Delta Utah to rescue seven baby barn owls. Their mom had made her nest up under the tarp of a huge stack of hay, so no one knew they were there. When the stack was sold, big semi-trucks came to uncover and load the big bales of hay onto their trucks. What a surprise it was to the truck drivers and farm workers when baby barn owls started falling from the haystack. These owls were fortunate. The farm workers knew how valuable owls are to our environment and how many mice they eat each night, helping keep the rodent population down around agricultural areas. They quickly and carefully rescued each of the babies and placed them into a box and called the UDWR who contacted us. Although mom and dad were displaced from their nest and babies, they saved seven baby owls that day. We are heading out on a road trip this next week to release these seven baby owls, now full grown and flying and feeding well on their own, at three or four different farms scattered around Southern Utah to give them the best chance of survival. Odds were that mom and dad could not have fed and raised all seven to maturity as that is a big nest. But now they all get a second chance to be released into the wild and help our environment once more. Thank you for helping our wild critters and our environment!

Findlay Subaru St. George Loves the Earth - Karyn K
Findlay Subaru St. George continues to show they Love the Earth through recycling in the waiting room as well as in the service drive! For the past few years, they have participated in the TerraCycle recycling program--putting out recyclable boxes in the waiting room for coffee capsules; candy and snack wrappers; and disposable cups, lids, and straws. Last year, they included the service drive through the Service Lane Program, recycling used Cabin Air Filters and Plastic Film. Once full, Findlay Subaru sends these Zero Waste recyclable boxes to the TerraCycle plant. Once collected, the waste is broken down and separated by material. Plastics are cleaned and pelletized, paper-based waste and organic waste (such as coffee grounds) are composted, and metals are melted down. TerraCycle will then have the collected waste turned into useful, high-quality recycled products, like park benches, picnic tables, and playground materials.
Findlay Subaru Partners to Support Education - Karyn K
Findlay Subaru is proud to partner with Balance of Nature and United We Pledge in their pursuit of educating our nation's children about the constitution. United We Pledge's goal for the American Village West is to restore patriotism in the youth and citizens through educational programs that celebrate freedom, family, and faith. One way they are doing so is a "Village to Village" run by extreme athlete Tom Jones. Tom's journey will start on April 19, 2022, and take him 1,968 miles on foot from the American Village in Montevallo, Alabama, to the future site of the American Village West in Hurricane, Utah. His journey will be 76 marathons over 76 days. This "Village to Village" run for United We Pledge will bring awareness and raise funds for the new American Village of the West. Findlay Subaru donated the use of their "Event Forester" as a pace car, outfitted with a large stereo system and wireless microphones, to help raise awareness of Tom's run and help motivate him along his journey. On July 2, 2022, Tom will finish his 76th marathon and participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, connecting East to West, and uniting us under the cause of preserving history and shaping the future of our great nation. For every dollar raised, Balance of Nature has committed to match up to $5,000,000. Visit the United We Pledge website to donate at unitedwepledge.org/v2v.
Salem - A RSQ Undercat - Cheryl M
Salem is a 12 year old domestic short hair cat. He was on an euthanasia list due to his age and health condition which had left him blind. RSQ rescued him from that shelter and provided much need veterinarian care and love. Salem had to have both eyes removed. His adopter was originally going to foster him once he was able to leave quarantine, but within a week, she called back and said it was going to be a permanent placement. They, like his medical care volunteers, had fallen in love with his spirit and resilience. He is thriving and living his best life now. Subaru's Loves Pets program helps RSQ continue its mission to be a voice for the voiceless, bettering the lives of animals in Utah's rural communities.
