Durango Animal Connection and Subaru Loves Pets - Erin N
In October of 2025 we were invited to participate in the Subaru Loves Pets event at Morehart Murphy Subaru. This month long event was a collaboration with the amazing staff at Morehart Murphy and our rescue where we showcased adoptable animals at the dealership, were awarded grant funding from the ASPCA to further our mission of rescuing, fostering and adopting homeless animals in the Four Corners, were provided awesome "new pet parent" kits for both our dog and cat adopters during the month, and hosted an adoption event at Morehart Murphy Subaru. We had so much fun bringing adoptable dogs and cats to this event and spending the day with the amazing staff there. At the event we adopted puppies and made several new connections that turned into adoptions down the road. We are so grateful for this opportunity to share our work, to meet new people, make new friends, and be a part of our community who cares so much about bettering the lives of the dogs and cats we all love! Thank you so much Morehart Murphy and Subaru Loves Pets!

Community Connections - Hannah Z
As both a case manager (employee) and parent of a child receiving services from Community Connections, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to Morehart Murphy Subaru for your continued support and contributions through Share the Love. Our family benefits greatly from the services and supports of Community Connections and it would not all be possible without the contributions and donations from Share the Love campaign of Morehart Murphy. It was especially meaningful to also contribute back to the Share the love campaign when purchasing my own amazing Subaru from Morehart Murphy. Thank you so much for all you do.
