Paws in the Park - Stephanie V
Subaru loves pets and they show this love in a multitude of ways! For the past 5 years, Brian and his team at Anchor Subaru have supported the Rhode Island SPCA's annual dog walk, Paws in the Park, as a Lap Dog Sponsor - showing their commitment to helping homeless animals in their community. This year the RISPCA raised over $50,000 from the walk to support the thousands of animals that come into the shelter yearly as well as our pet retention programs like our community pet food pantry and Anchored Paws crisis boarding program. We cannot thank Anchor Subaru enough for their unwavering commitment to the Rhode island SPCA!
Anchor Subaru Helps Smithfield Little League Grow in Its 75th Year - Jason M
This year marks Smithfield Little League's 75th anniversary, and we have more children playing baseball than ever. Our membership has grown by more than 35% in the past two years. We now have over 550 players participating across our spring, summer, and fall seasons. As our league worked to keep up with that growth, Anchor Subaru stepped up as our Grand Slam sponsor, the highest level of sponsorship we offer. Their support came at a time when we needed it most. Anchor Subaru has supported Smithfield Little League for many years. Partners like them help us make room for more players and give local children a place to learn the game, build friendships, and be part of a team. In recognition of their years of dedication and the support they provided this season, our Board of Directors named Anchor Subaru our 2026 Sponsor of the Year. On behalf of our players, families, coaches, and volunteers, thank you for continuing to show up for Smithfield Little League and our community.
Spring flowers for NS Clean & Green Day volunteers. - scott h
Once again Anchor Subaru has come through to aid the annual North Smithfield Clean & Green Day community clean up. This year in coordination with Earth Day the organizing committee thought that spring flowers for volunteers to bring home as a thank you would be a great way to show our appreciation. Anchor was in agreement and it proved to be a huge success and the a great, fresh way to inject something new into our event. People were blown away with the look and smell of these tulips and daffodils in the registration room. the committee believes it was such a success that we will continue this going forward. Huge thanks to Anchor Subaru for their willingness to work with our committee and also actively be involved in how the donations are spent. This relationship is priceless to the success of our event.

Love Finds a Way: JJ’s Journey Home - Jeanine C
JJ's Story: After nearly 18 months in the shelter, JJ—the sweet, energetic pup so many of you rooted for is HOME. Today, he’s living his best life on 40 beautiful acres in Maine with a family who adores him. This happy ending was possible thanks to incredible teamwork and the generosity of Anchor Subaru, who sponsored JJ’s adoption fee, promoted his story, and even offered training support. Their commitment to pets and people truly embodies the Subaru Love Promise. JJ’s journey wasn’t easy. Adopted as a puppy, he returned to us when his owner was deployed overseas. We promised him we’d find the right home, and we kept that promise. From his first day back at the shelter to the moment he met his forever family, JJ reminds us what rescue is all about: patience, hope, and love. Congratulations to JJ and his new family. Our hearts are full knowing this sweet boy is finally right where he belongs! To learn more about Animal Rescue Rhode Island, visit www.animalrescueri.org.

Anchor Subaru: A True Partner in Change - Susan J
When it comes to making a real impact, Anchor Subaru has truly gone above and beyond. Their generous sponsorship of The State of The Hotel event was not just a financial contribution — it was a partnership in our mission to transform animal welfare nationwide. From the moment we reached out, Anchor Subaru was not only quick to support us, but they also shared our passion for improving the lives of homeless dogs. Their dedication to causes that matter, like animal rescue and shelter reform, made all the difference in bringing this event to life. They didn’t just sponsor an event; they became part of the change we’re fighting for. Thanks to their support, we were able to bring together passionate individuals and start a conversation about fixing a broken system. Anchor Subaru’s commitment to the cause is a testament to how businesses can use their influence to make a lasting difference. We are so grateful for their unwavering support — they’ve truly shown what it means to be a community partner. All of us at The Hotel for Homeless Dog's are truly grateful.
Spud's Savior - Stephanie V
This is a story about Spud! Spud came to the Rhode Island SPCA on March 27, 2024. He was two years old. Sadly, Spud celebrated his 3rd birthday with us too. Spud was a staff favorite but he still had puppy energy and did not present well to potential adopters in his kennel. But, we were determined to find him a home. Because of these puppy tendencies we knew Spud would be a candidate for post adoption training! However, the trainings can be expensive and many adopters cannot afford them. This is how Anchor Subaru saved Spud! They offered to sponsor Spud's post adoption training for up to 12 sessions. On April 24, 2025, 392 days in the shelter or 3 days shy of his 13 month anniversary, Spud was adopted into a loving home with a gentleman who Spud connected with almost immediately! Spud and his new owner are currently taking part in the trainings and it is going great! We truly appreciate Anchor Subaru for all the financial support they have given to our shelter animals that need a little extra help along the way.

N.S. Clean & Green Day 2025 - Scott H
Another great year working with Gladimir and Brian from Achor Subaru. This year we were in dire need of new signage for our town clean up registration area. Our signs were dated and Anchor agreed to graciously donate the funding needed to make this happen. We were able to acquire 4 new retractable signs which gave our whole registration area a clean, professional look. People are started to take notice that Anchor Subaru is doing good things for our community.
