Thanksgiving Mircale

Our experience was excellent! We were very upset on the Thruway when the tire blew and then trying to contact service centers was a problem. My son-in-law looked up the nearest Subaru dealer and the rest is history. You, Michelle, Greg could not have been more efficient or nicer. (The lattes were also great!) Please convey my thanks to all and the technician who worked so hard to get us out and on our way. My daughter could not believe we were able to leave your place at 4:30. We arrived at their house 9:30 tired and frazzled but in fairly good shape. Everyone who has heard about the "blown tire on the thruway" story have been amazed at how lucky we were to find such a helpful, warm, and friendly place for repairs. We hope you are all well and will have some much-needed time off to relax and spend time with loved ones. Thanks again!

Subaru Loves Pets!

The West Herr Subaru of Brockport team was grateful to be able to host the PAWS Animal Shelter of Albion for a second adoption event in the showroom! Through posts on Facebook and a lot of outreach done by their staff, four adorable rescues left their mark on the hearts of every employee and every visitor that came to the event. The showroom was filled with joy as Mason, a black and white mixed breed pup jumped around in his Christmas PJs. The pandemic made it extremely difficult to get rescues adopted due to the limited resources and visitation. The Subaru Team was extremely grateful to be able to collect a trunk-full of donation items ranging from laundry detergent to chew toys for the precious fur babies. Both Subaru and PAWS were amazed when 58 Main restaurant chose to sponsor the event and made a generous raffle donation: a brand new 55” flat screen TV. Many thanks to West Herr Subaru and the Brockport community for coming together for a great cause!

Subaru Loves Learning with the A D Oliver Middle School

The A D Oliver Middle School of Brockport was thrilled to partner with West Herr Subaru Brockport for the 2022 school year! With the amazing help of the Subaru team, various school supplies were donated and distributed to the middle school students. With so many existing and new paths for children to take these days, being able to provide them with the essentials of education is more crucial than ever. Because of the amazing relationship with the Subaru Brockport team, middle schoolers were provided pens, pencils, notebooks, and various other important items to be able to get the most out of their education. The Subaru store is extremely grateful to be able to donate school supplies throughout the year to meet and exceed the needs of every eager student at A D Oliver Middle School and help create a better future for our community!

LUCILLE

Through our partnership with West Herr Subaru of Brockport, we hosted a month long adoption event during October 2022. We were able to find homes for 22 of our homeless pets during this event. One very special adoption was involving a 3-legged pup named Lucille. Lucille was found on the streets with three puppies and a horrible leg injury. She was immediately taken to the local veterinarian and was given high dose of pain meds and started on antibiotics. Heartworm tests indicated that she was also High Heartworm Positive. The ride to the vet was very difficult for the coordinator because the smell coming from her injury was horrid with rotting flesh and bone hanging from her leg, and Lucille was also uncomfortable. We are unsure as to how this injury happened and if it was done by a person or if something became wrapped around her foot. We think she may have chewed her foot off trying to get loose from whatever it was. The vet performed surgery to remove what was left of her leg, which had bone and ligaments protruding out of her skin. After emergency surgery Lucille began treatment for heartworm. With the leg amputation and high heartworm positive diagnosis she was not out of the woods yet. Lucille was able to recover from surgery and start her healing and heartworm treatment in a foster home. Her puppies were also placed into a foster home until they were weaned from bottle feeding, and also treated for a nasty skin infection, and ready for adoption into loving homes. Lucille was given the A.O.K. from our vet to find her the best home. A dog with three legs, or any animal with a disability typically takes longer to adopt simply because of the responsibility and commitment involved, so we knew we had a challenging situation ahead of us. Thanks to our wonderful supporters, veterinarians and staff, and our pairing with West Herr Subaru of Brockport, we were able to find the absolute best home for Lucille, who was adopted on October 4th, 2022 !!!
