Ichabod - Rachel N
The Humane Society of the Lakes through our partnership with R & G Subaru in Detroit Lakes, MN was able to adopt 32 pets during the month of October for Subaru Loves Pets. One small furry feline named Ichabod was one of the lucky animals that found his purrfect furrever home during the event. He is a very special kitty because he came in as a very small 4-week-old stray. He had coccidia and began treatment as soon as our vet was able to see him. One day he had hypoglycemia and we almost lost him! Our Fundraising Coordinator brought him home for the night so he could be fed every two hours. He was a very vocal little guy! With a canned kitten food/milk replacer diet he stabilized and was a fluffy little ball of joy! He just stole everyone’s hearts running around and playing! He loved pets and would purr happily in your ear when you picked him up and cuddled him close. One day we received an email from a young man inquiring about Ichabod stating he would like to adopt the little guy! The shelter manager emailed back and waited for the application to come through, but we didn’t get one for him as we expected. We then got a phone call from this boy’s mom who stated that she was calling around trying to find the shelter where this Ichabod was located. We told her that he was at our shelter, so she applied for him immediately as her son was under 18 so that’s why he didn’t send us the application. She came in and adopted him to surprise her son. He wasn’t with her when Ichabod was picked up, but we are sure that this was one of the best surprises that he could have gotten!

ABOVE & BEYOND - Becker County S
"Drew, I want to sincerely thank you for your assistance with locating the missing elderly man from Ogema area. You went above and beyond and this person was found safely with your help. This was greatly appreciated by his family and our staff. Sincerely, Todd & Staff" Becker County Sheriffs Department R&G Subaru was contacted by the Becker County Sheriffs Department first thing in the morning with the report of a missing elderly man. With the help of the Subaru Starlink Program, R&G Subaru was able to assist the Becker County Sheriffs in locating the missing elderly man. He was located roughly 400 miles from home in a snow filled ditch on a less traveled road near the international border. The elderly man had been stuck through the night until he was found by 11am. The Becker County Sheriffs contacted the law enforcement in the area he was located. Upon arrival they were able to assist the elderly man and get him the medical attention needed, he was then reunited safely with his family. A special thanks to the Becker County Sheriffs Department, Local Law Enforcement, R&G Subaru, and the Subaru Starlink Team
Heart of Dixie - Lori T
Dixie was transferred to the Humane Society of the Lakes from Heartland Animal Rescue in Brainerd, Minnesota. Dixie was an incredibly shy dog that needed to be carried outside for the first few days as she was too scared to walk on her own. Dixie soon became friends with another dog in the shelter named Sally. Sally helped build Dixie's confidence through play. A wonderful couple stopped at the shelter in search for a medium sized dog. Dixie was timid at first. We brought her out into the yard and she surprised us. She was so curious that she came up to the couple to greet and sniff them! The couple submitted an application and came in to visit with Dixie again. They mentioned that they had a dog with a similar background and felt that they could help her through her shyness and give her a home. Dixie had finally found her furrever home. Sometimes all it takes is the right family to come through our doors to find their perfect companion! Thank you to Subaru for having the Make a Dog's Day event to showcase all of our furry friends looking for a family of their own and a place to call home.
