Shelby's Love Promise Story - the MSPCA at Nevins Farm - Julia V
One hundred and fifty eight cats and dogs found their new families at the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in October; one of which was a gorgeous gal named Shelby. The sweet and gentle 5 year old Border Collie was an extra-special adoption, though, as she is blind. Her new family shared that she’s navigating her new landscape like a champ; she does not let it hold her back! Many thanks to North Reading Subaru for their tireless support for the work of the MSPCA – and helping make happy endings like this possible. (Photo Credit: Pant the Town Photography)
North Reading Subaru Loves Pets - Julia V
North Reading Subaru has always been generous supporting us in the past. They have done charity car washes, adoption events, and even had us as their Share the Love promotion partners where they donate hundreds of dollars for each car they sell. Most recently they picked us as their shelter for the Subaru Loves Pets event. North Reading Subaru donated boxes of chew toys for the shelter pups. They were even shaped like Subarus! North Reading Subaru also provided "New Parent Kits" for new pet owners who are adopting from us. Thank you so much North Reading Subaru for your support over the years!
North Reading Subaru Recycling - Jenn S
I have been leasing and servicing my vehicles at North Reading Subaru for about eight years. One of my favorite things about this establishment is that they offer Terracycle recycling for the public. Terracycle is the only company I trust to actually properly recycle hard to recycle materials. Every time I come in for service I bring my items from home and know they will be properly recycled at this establishment. The staff is always very friendly and informative regarding this program. Thank you so much North Reading Subaru for doing your part to protect the planet!!
North Reading Subaru Loves Learning - John P
North Reading Subaru helped show they love learning by raising awareness and donating school supply kits to our special education department. They also had their service and sales customers write notes of inspiration and praise to our teachers and put them on a school bus poster. That poster is now hanging in our teachers office so the staff can see it everyday! Thank you so much North Reading Subaru!

Subaru Love Pets - MSPCA at Nevins Farm - Julia V
Baxter (formerly known as Hermes) was adopted from the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in early October – which marked a sharp turning point in this pooch’s life. Baxter was one of a few dogs that the MSPCA-Angell and Northeast Animal Shelter had transported from a terrible animal cruelty case in South Carolina. There, Baxter had been one of 400 animals found living in unsanitary, cruel and inhumane conditions. It has been deemed one of the worst animal cruelty cases that South Carolina has ever experienced. Having lived likely his entire life in these conditions and as an outdoor dog, Baxter’s manners were . . . unrefined and new experiences could make him nervous. A super patient adopter that could move at his pace was what he needed, and that’s just what he found – with a dog friend (who looks JUST like him) named Maggie to ease his entry into the big world. With a lot of behavior counseling and coaching from the team at the MSPCA, Baxter’s adopter has risen to the challenge and has changed this boy’s entire world. He’s happy, healthy, learning how to live life in a home – and most of all he is safe, loved and well cared for.

Gramps says thank you to Subaru! - Julia P
Gramps came to the MSPCA at Nevins Farm this fall when he was found on our property; tied to our pig barn by his leash. We don't know all of his backstory, but we do know that he got a new lease on life thanks to help from friends like ours at North Reading Subaru. The MSPCA at Nevins Farm is an independent organization that receives no state, federal or local dollars. As such, it's help from friends like North Reading Subaru that make our work possible. Work that allows us to help Gramps get started anew. Since Gramps was abandoned on our property, we can only guess how old he is. We initially guessed 8, but that was probably before we looked inside his mouth - and found that he was in dire need of extensive help with a very painful set of teeth. We blocked off A LOT of time on our veterinary team's surgical schedule and planned for a big day for Gramps. And a big day it was; he underwent an extremely long surgery in which all of his teeth were removed; they were that far gone and Gramps was in a lot of pain. We supported him through his recovery (which included a lot of hand feeding, a lot of special food "requests" for every kind of delicious, soft food available), got him feeling fine again and then found him a wonderful couple to love him to the moon and back. We were only able to do this, though, because we have support from our local community - which North Reading Subaru has been a big part of for many years now. We are incredibly glad to be able to go the extra mile - with your help - for dogs like Gramps; thank you from the bottom of all our hearts!

MSPCA @ Nevins Farm - Julia P
Over the years North Reading Subaru has done several events the MSPCA at Nevins Farm. Our relationship started several years ago when we first did a charity car wash at the dealership together. We brought a few of our shelter pups over that were available for adoption and they had a full car wash set up with a suggested donation of $10 dollars along with a cookout and a raffle for any customers who participated. On top of that they also had giving $200 for each new car that was sold that day to our shelter. At the end of the day we had raised over three thousand dollars for our shelter. It was a great event!! The following year they sponsored our Tales and Ales event which is one of our biggest fundraisers we do all year. We have beer tastings and food from local vendors and a few members of the North Reading Subaru staff even came and brought there dogs. At that event the general manager David Melkonian and his wife were introduced to a Yorkshire Terrier we had at the shelter. A few weeks later that same pup was in their home. A year and a half later and he's doing great! Another great success story for our shelter. In 2019 North Reading Subaru collected various toys, puzzles, treats and food for our shelter. We are so grateful for everything North Reading Subaru has done with us and can't wait to see what the future brings!
