Celebrate National Make A Dog's Day!

If you’re reading this, chances are you love dogs! And guess what? We do too! In fact, here at BARK, we have only one goal: to make dogs as happy as they make us. That’s why we’re excited to join the Subaru Loves Pets®  initiative once again in celebrating their 6th annual “National Make A Dog’s Day.”

This day (October 22nd) is all about going out of your way to do something special for your dog. Give them an extra treat (or two), let them stop at every tree during your walk, knit matching sweaters—whatever makes your dog happiest. BARK and Subaru are inviting dog lovers nationwide to celebrate their pets in unique ways and share these joyful moments on social media using the hashtag #MakeADogsDay.

No dog to spoil? No problem! This celebration also highlights the importance of supporting dogs who need loving homes. Subaru is a strong advocate for adoption, especially focusing on The Underdogs—those older, physically challenged, or otherwise overlooked pups who often have difficulty finding forever homes.

Beyond celebrating, Subaru supports shelter animals by providing grants through the ASPCA to local animal welfare partners. These funds help cover crucial expenses like veterinary care and adoption preparation. Many Subaru retailers also host adoption events and microchipping clinics, all aimed at helping more pets find loving homes. Want to get involved? Reach out to your local Subaru retailer to learn how you can support animals in need throughout the year. To locate a retailer near you, visit the Subaru Retailer Locator.
