What an incredible day celebrating Subaru Loves Pets Month with our friends at Kirby Subaru of Ventura! The event was filled with wagging tails, smiling faces, and a sense of community spirit as we came together to support shelter animals and spread love. Guests enjoyed a lively day, complete with tacos, giveaways, and plenty of pet snuggles. Subaru's popular "Spin the Wheel" game had everyone excited to win Subaru and HSVC swag. At the same time, friends from AirWorks Solutions, Ventura County's trusted heating, air, and plumbing experts, joined in on the fun and shared in our mission to help both pets and people. They shared helpful tips about home air quality, introducing guests to Colorfil, a premium air filter brand designed especially for pet-friendly households!

To make the day even more interactive, visitors were given event "passports", encouraging them to explore all corners of the celebration. Each stop offered a chance to learn, connect, and discover something new. From meeting adoptable animals to touring our HSVC Mobile Pet Wellness Clinic, there was no shortage of excitement! Those who completed their passports were entered into a prize giveaway, adding a playful twist to an already tail-wagging good time.

The highlight of the day was when two sweet kittens found their forever families! Watching these tiny purr machines head off to their new homes reminded everyone why partnerships like this matter so much. Together, we are helping to make Ventura County a kinder place for animals in need. A heartfelt thank you to Kirby Subaru of Ventura for hosting us and for their continued support through their Subaru Loves Pets initiative. Thank you to AirWorks and everyone who stopped by to share a smile, make a donation, adopt, or learn more about HSVC. You all contributed to making this event such a success, and your support makes a world of difference to the animals in our care.
