Pine Belt Subaru and Caregiver Canines® Celebrate Partnership

6/10/19: (Lakewood, NJ) Pine Belt Subaru on Rt. 88 in Lakewood went to the dogs on Saturday, June 1st! The therapy dogs from Caregiver CaninesⓇ Home Visiting Therapy Dog Program, part of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey, were on hand to meet and greet the public during the “A Lot To Love” event. Caregiver Canines® was chosen by Pine Belt Subaru as their Hometown Charity for 2019 because of the great service and connection they provide to Seniors, Caregivers and Veterans. With each Subaru sold during the promotion Subaru will donate a portion back to Caregiver Canines®.

The event was attended by Pine Belt customers as well as the general public. 25 Caregiver Canine therapy dog teams were out and about in the parking lot as well as the showroom greeting everyone and sharing their love. There were visits from the Lakewood Police Department and two K9 Teams from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office.

“Caregiver Canines® is honored to be partnering with a community minded company like Pine Belt. Our program brings such joy to home bound seniors in Ocean and Monmouth Counties. Being recognized by Pine Belt means so much to our organization and our volunteers”, says Danielle Maley, Caregiver Canines® Manger. “The dogs love all the attention, this is their job and they love to be around people.” If you would like more information about the Caregiver Canines® Program please call 732-505-2273, email info@caregivervolunteers.org or visit them on Facebook @Caregiver Canines.
