“We can’t begin to thank Jason and his team at Findlay Subaru for their generosity.”
Eden is a Goldendoodle comfort dog known for her work in sitting with children who are asked to testify in court cases. Cooper and Benny are drug-sniffing Labradors tasked with helping to keep illegal drug activity off the streets.
“We love being a part of the local community and what better program to support than our local law enforcement K-9 Unit?” said Jenkins. “At Findlay Subaru Prescott, we love dogs, and we truly appreciate our local law enforcement and all they do to protect us and our community. When we met Eden and heard the story about what she does for children in our court system, we absolutely fell in love with her. And, we already had a great relationship with Benny and Cooper, as they come to train using our wholesale vehicles from time to time.”
Jenkins says the police department uses Findlay Subaru’s wholesale vehicles to bait and train the drug-sniffing dogs. He adds that they are always welcomed back with open arms and treats.
“We can’t begin to thank Jason and his team at Findlay Subaru for their generosity,” said Eden’s handler, Amy Fillingim, senior victim advocate in the Prescott Police Department’s Victim Services Unit. “Eden, Benny and Cooper are all funded exclusively by community donations and this money will ensure that they continue to have each of their needs met be way of treats, training, toys and veterinary expenses.”
In addition, the Findlay Subaru team wears t-shirts promoting the K-9 Unit every Friday to show support. “Our customers also buy the t-shirts to help support the program. They love the three K-9 officers, too!” said Jenkins. “We look forward to future events and the continued sponsorship of these great programs.”
Marking the end of the successful campaign with Eden, Benny, and Cooper and a giant check were Sgt. Jack Shapiro, Jenkins, Fillingim, Deputy Police Chief Jon Brambila, Officer Luke Million, Officer Kyle Alltop and Lt. Gary Novak, along with the team at Findlay Subaru. QCBN
