“Royal Animal Refuge is excited to be partnering with Subaru for the 2019 Atlanta International Auto Show. Last year, we were fortunate to partner with Subaru for several events including a Subaru Loves Pets adoption event in October 2018,” said Rebecca Royal Tate, Founder of Royal Animal Refuge. “Because of the automaker’s deep commitment to helping the community, we have been able to care for and match several hundred adoptable dogs with their forever families – giving them a second chance for the love of which they are so deserving. The opportunity to partner with Subaru at the Atlanta International Auto Show will give us the ability to showcase our pets, share our mission, and match pets with their forever families.”
All adopters are subject to normal Royal Animal Refuge adoption guidelines and procedures. Prospective adopters should submit an application online or be prepared to do so on-site, and also bring photo ID. To learn more about the adoption process, visit RoyalAnimalRefuge.org.
