What began as a routine dog adoption event at a Tallahassee auto dealership on Saturday, October 18 quickly became an unexpected gift presentation to the Humane Society of Leon County.<\/p>\n
After what seemed to be a simple group photo in front of the dealership, Proctor Subaru’s Sarah Demont made this announcement to the Leon County Humane Society’s leadership and volunteers.<\/p>\n
“You guys do so much, we wanted to give you a new car!”<\/p>\n
Applause and cheers erupted as a Subaru SUV, already bearing the Society’s name and logo, drove up.
Society Past President Laura Johnson said the vehicle will greatly aid the organization’s mission.<\/p>\n
“It’s a huge help to have a transport. So many animals move around to and from foster homes to other rescues to care and back. So we can’t overstate the help it gives us to have this car.”<\/p>\n
The national Subaru organization is a regular supporter of Humane Society chapters, but the dealership says this vehicle donation was a purely local initiative. The move comes after the group\u2019s previous vehicle was recently damaged in a crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What began as a routine dog adoption event at a Tallahassee auto dealership on Saturday, October 18 quickly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-12754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
