No Dogs Left Behind – The Fight Against Inhumane Dog Meat Market
It is estimated that every year over 30 million dogs are slaughtered for human consumption in Asian countries including China, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia. With those numbers, it seems like a hopeless task for the organizations that are desperately fighting to end the dog meat trade in Asia. No Dogs Left Behind, a non-profit international animal welfare organization, was founded by Jeffrey Beri in 2016 and leads the way in the global war against animal cruelty. Competition Subaru of Smithtown is proud to support No Dogs Left Behind and their mission to end the dog meat market and illegal dog traffickers. Jeffrey and his team have been fighting for the past several years and are committed to ending this horrific industry in Asia. The Fight Against The Inhumane Dog Meat Market Their mission extends beyond borders worldwide, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws, and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured, or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. Working hands-on with local activists through emergency response, Jeffrey’s team pulls dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dog meat trucks, wet markets, and traffickers. The NDLB team works day in and day out to save as many dogs as they can from being recklessly and inhumanely slaughtered for human consumption. How You Can Help No Dogs Left Behind Adopt A Dog – Take one or two of the broken souls into your home and give them the love they deserve. NDLB is constantly looking for homes for their many shelter dogs. Check out the dogs they have for adoption here. Sponsor A Dog – Sponsoring a dog is the next best thing you can do if you can’t adopt a dog. By sponsoring a dog, you are paying for their monthly food, veterinary care, and routine vaccinations until they can find a permanent home. Another option includes flight sponsorship which will assist in getting the dog to the United States and into a forever home, foster home, or rescue partnership. The cost of a flight sponsorship varies depending upon the weight and size of the dog being transported. Learn how to sponsor a dog here. Foster A Dog – Fosters are always needed throughout the USA and Canada. Fostering one of the survivors allows for more space in their sanctuaries so more dogs can be saved from the illegal dog meat trafficking trade in East Asia. In addition to saving more lives, fostering helps their survivors by giving them the opportunity to adjust to a home environment and decompress from the trauma that they have experienced, thereby making for a more successful, forever adoption. NDLB is specifically looking for fosters right now here on Long Island! For more information on fostering, visit their website here. Volunteer Your Time – Get more involved and offer your talent and energy to help the efforts of NDLB! You can help with fundraising initiatives in your community, graphic design assistance, email alerts, write stories about the survivors, and help with media and community outreach. If you are interested in volunteering, visit their website here. Donate Monthly – Monthly donors are the lifeline for NDLB. Every dollar donated makes a difference in the life of their dogs, and enables them to continue to rescue more. Donations are critical to funding the ongoing expenses associated with the care, rehabilitation, and transport of their survivors. Every little bit helps. To donate, visit their here. No Dogs Left Behind Safe-Havens With nearly 500 survivors in their care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi and Gongyi, Asia. In these safe havens, these once victimized and exploited dogs receive medical care, nutritional support, and rehabilitation on an ongoing basis. No Dogs Left Behind goes beyond rescue, doing whatever it takes to heal the physical and emotional scars these animals suffer and to find them their forever loving homes. Meet their brave survivors here. Competition Subaru of Smithtown is proud to support No Dogs Left Behind and their mission to end the inhumane dog meat market and illegal dog traffickers.

Competition Subaru Proud To Support Paige Keely Foundation
The Paige Elizabeth Keely Foundation is a nonprofit 501c3 (EIN-84-5024812) organization that was created in honor of Paige Keely, who passed away at the age of 6, due to a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Early AVM detection can help to change the course of this disease. Competition Subaru is proud to support the Paige Keely Foundation at the Wave of Change Gala on October 6th 2021. The Paige Keely Foundation Founder and President Gina Keely created The Paige Elizabeth Keely Foundation in hopes to increase funding for early AVM detection and to raise awareness for AVM’s, educate communities about this treatable condition, and to establish early detection screening programs. The Foundation is working on opening a Brain Imaging Center here on Long Island. This will open so many doors for early detection of not only Brain AVM’s, and Aneurysms, but will also detect other unknown conditions someone may have. Our imaging center will allow any child or adult, insured or not, to have the ability receive MRA imaging. What Are Pediatric AVMs? Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangles of arteries and veins that can occur anywhere in the body. These abnormalities are typically congenital and are present at birth. They usually are not detected unless they cause seizures, weakness, or have ruptured and bled in the brain. Neurologic or life threatening sequelae are associated with each hemorrhage. There is a 4% per year risk of hemorrhage once an AVM has become symptomatic. Treatment is required to reduce that risk and subsequent problems associated with additional hemorrhage. Treatment for AVMs can be quite complex and it is critical that patients with this disorder be managed and surgically treated in a center with extensive AVM experience. Causes of Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) The cause of Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) is not known. AVMs are thought to be congenital (present at birth), and researchers believe that they may arise from developmental derangements at the embryonic stage of vessel formation (at the fetal stage). However, this theory has never been clearly established, and some researchers believe that AVMs may arise after birth. Unlike the association of head trauma, or other injuries with the development of dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF), there are no known environmental risk factors for AVMs. Most AVMs are termed “sporadic,” which implies that they arise spontaneously without a specific gene mutation being passed on from parent to child. There is no clear familial inheritance, except in families with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). HHT patients are at some 10,000 fold higher risk of developing a brain AVM than the non-HHT population. Importance of Early Detection Screening & Scanning Identifying and treating Brain Arteriovenous Malformations & Aneurysms before they rupture can and will save lives. If Brain AVM’s & Aneurysms rupture, effective treatment becomes more difficult, and generally a person’s chances of surviving are much lower. Brain AVM’s & Aneurysms that have not ruptured typically have little to no symptoms, until it’s too late. Wave of Change Gala The Paige Keely Foundation is hosting their upcoming Wave of Change Gala on October 6th 2021. The purpose of the Gala is to honor Paige, AVM Awareness month and to raise funding for our imaging center. All the proceeds of the Gala will be used to fund two MRA imaging machines. Help Make A Difference Please consider making a donation to the Paige Elizabeth Keely Foundation. No family should have to go through the pain of losing a child when early detection could have kept this beautiful 6-year-old child here today.

April is National Car Care Month
Winter has finally come to an end and spring is in full swing! There is no better time than April to get your car in tip-top shape for summer road trips or simply for driving around town! National Car Care Month in April is the time of year to give your car some extra attention. Basic maintenance is essential and can go a long way toward improving the safety and dependability of your vehicle, plus it helps avoid costly repairs down the road. Keep reading for a rundown of the car maintenance services we highly recommend for this time of the year. Show Your Subaru Some Love This April It is important to make sure your tires, brakes, and windshield wipers are ready for the rain and take care of any issues that may have occurred or been ignored during winter. Our team here at Competition Subaru of Smithtown strongly suggests scheduling a service to see a professional at our Service Center. Basic Vehicle Maintenance Check Tire Pressure & Tread Wear Most tire damage and wear is a result of driving on tires that are improperly inflated. Tires that contain the specified amount of air pressure last longer and contribute to vehicle safety. Tires that are not properly inflated can lead to poor traction and an increase in rolling resistance. Frequent tire rotations are essential to the life of your tires. It is recommended to rotate your tires after driving 5,000 to 8,000 miles to prevent uneven wear. Contact our Service Team with any questions or concerns you may have. Visit our Subaru Tire Store or shop for tires online. Check Brake System You may have used your brakes too often this past winter due to the snowy conditions. Icy roads adversely affect the car’s brakes due to the low friction between tires and the road. Most people change their brake pads after driving 10,000-20,000 miles and their rotors after driving 50,000-70,000 miles. You should also check to see if your brakes make a grinding noise or if your stopping distance has increased. We highly recommend seeing a professional to inspect your vehicle and help with these basic but very crucial maintenances. Check The Exhaust & Battery If you notice any unusual noises, it could indicate that your exhaust system may be damaged or have leaks. Exhaust leaks can be dangerous and must be corrected right away. A battery check will inform you if the connection is corrosion-free, tight, and clean. The battery should be securely mounted. If it is three years old or more, the battery should be tested and replaced if necessary. Schedule a service online at our Subaru Service Center or stop by our Express Service Center where no appointment is needed. Change Fluids Check the oil, filters, and fluids. Oil should be checked at every fill-up. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended intervals. Brake, transmission, power steering, coolant, and windshield washer fluids should also be checked regularly. Your car’s filters, including those for the transmission, fuel system, and interior ventilation, need regular inspection and replacement. Some of these maintenances can be done by yourself, but we highly recommend scheduling a service with a professional for the best results. Schedule a service online at our Subaru Service Center or stop by our Express Service Center where no appointment is needed! Our Subaru Make Love Last Spring Service Event is going on now until April 15th, 2021! Be sure to take advantage of our new Subaru lease specials, service specials, and parts & accessories specials!
