Darrell Waltrip Subaru Shares the Love of Animals

Dealership to make Donation for Every Vehicle Sold or Leased

Friends of Williamson County Animal Center (FOWCAC) has again been selected as a “hometown charity” to receive support as part Darrell Waltrip Subaru’s annual Share the Love event. Customers who purchase or lease a new vehicle through January 2, 2025 can select FOWCAC to receive a donation of $300 and a $5 donation will be made on all vehicles serviced at the Subaru dealership during this time.

Director, Ondrea Johnson said that such support gives WCAC opportunities to do things beyond their typical shelter offerings. “Life is better for the animals and people living in Williamson County because of the support we receive from Darrell Waltrip,” according to Johnson. “We are able to engage community members and care for animals in ways that are only possible because of their generosity.”

Waltrip Subaru has a long-standing history of collaborating with FOWCAC to promote and support quality of life for all animals in Williamson County. Not only has this partnership helped pets find forever homes, it has provided care for animals with special needs, contributed to programs that reduce homeless cat populations, sponsored rabies vaccinations and microchipping for community pets and made possible the public dog park at the shelter that opened in 2023.

With support from the dealership, the dog park has weather shelters so that people are able to enjoy the park as much as their canine family members as well as agility equipment. The park has two sections; one for large dogs and the other for small that are available for public use 365 days a year to dogs that are current on vaccinations and able to safely socialize with other dogs. Dogs outside of the park are required to be on a leash.

WCAC is open to the public Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.; Saturday 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.; and closed Sundays. Hours may vary due to holidays. The center is located at 1006 Grigsby Hayes Court in Franklin.
