Subaru National Adopt A Dog Day

October 22, 2019 / 21 Comments

There’s so much excitement at my house today!  Chelsea and Peanut watch all the Subaru ads, and they know today is their day!  It’s Subaru’s National Adopt A Dog Day, and they are both adopted!  If I owned a Subaru, I’d drive them to Petco with streamers and banners on my car to announce their special day.  Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t own one because Chelsea would insist on driving.  So, to celebrate, they’ll each get an extra treat, and Chelsea will get to wear her Pumpkin Hat.

We adopted Peanut last September, so she’s been with us a year now.  What you may not know is that I flew to Nashville to adopt her.  Yep, she’s a Nashville, Tennessee girl.  They say you know the right dog when you see it, and I’m a believer!   From her first airplane ride on Southwest…

…to her bed in my studio…

…she proved me right!  She fits right into our family.   I just knew she was the right dog for us, and she’s worth every penny I spent to get her here.

Rescue dogs know that they’ve been rescued, and they are forever grateful.  Just ask someone who’s rescued a dog, and you’ll hear the same story over and over.  They give back endless love.

 

Is there a rescue dog in your life?  Tell us!  Happy Adopt a Dog Day!

    I love the Subaru commercials with the dogs, & have noticed adoption commercial by them this week. Someone in charge must love dogs!  I would like a small dog, a rescue, but trying to talk hubby into having a dog.
    P.S. we have  Subarus, so I think it’s meant to be!

    Hi Anne,
    We have two adopted dogs!  One chihuahua pug mix who showed up on our porch, and adopted us.  Her name is Connie.  We also have a 3 year old black lab with separation anxiety that came to live with us in February.  They are both such a blessing to our family!  God is good!

    We have lots of animal tales and tails. We have three adopted dogs. Our oldest is our 17 year old Pomeranian, Phoebe. She and her brother had been abandoned. Her brother passed a few years ago.  We also have a Lab/Corgi mix, named Piper and my baby, Daisy. Daisy is the first puppy I have ever had. The youngest we had ever adopted was two. We went to a dog adoption at a park, I saw her and it was love at first sight. She is Doxie, spaniel and terrier.  She is two now and I cannot imagine life without her. I understand what you mean when you see the right dog. We have a 21 year old cat(Daphne) who rules the house. We have four cats. We have always said that we can only parent 3 of each properly but somehow a little soul shows up and the rule goes out the window. I agree that these fur babies give us endless love. Our Piper was abandoned and heart broken when we adopted her. While she still has some glitches with her personality, she is a sweet, loving, happy girl. Our animals have enriched our children’s lives in so many ways. I have a sweet spot for those Subaru commercials as I love that they are bringing attention to special pets. I also love that you share the stories of your pets.  I have followed along for years.

    Oh, I just LOVE Chelsea and Peanut. They’re just darling! And I know they hit the jackpot when they ended up with you. I don’t have dogs, but my three cats, Elizabeth, Petie and Eddie, are all rescues. There’s nothing better than a sweet little rescue dog or cat. They give back so much more than we can give them. <3

    Hi Anne and followers!
    I currently have 12, yes twelve, rescued dogs in my home and I love them all. Over the past 10 years or so I think I’ve had 20+ dogs calling my house their home. They are my life. To come home and see their wagging tails and bright eyes is a fabulous reward – even if they do try to push me out of bed every night.  As the saying goes – who rescued who??

    My rescue is a white lab who belonged to our son. He brought her over to stay while the moved, she never went back!  Love her, even though I live on 100 acres, she can’t stay in her own yard!

    Yes, we have an adopted cat and dog. Our dog, Ranger is vacationing in NYS with our son while his papa gets medical treatment. Who ever heard of a dog who doesn’t like to ride in the car? We have now! Cheers to you and Chelsea and Peanut.
