Clear The Shelters PAWSitively Good Awards salute those who go above and beyond to help shelter animals. Kelly Keefe of Brilliance Subaru was presented with the award by LeeAnn Trotter from NBC.

Kelly started the “Rescue Dog for a Day” program in August 2021. Twice a week shelter dogs from Anderson Humane Society in South Elgin are posted on the Brilliance Subaru website and on social media. Then in July 2022 Kelly produced a documentary entitled “Promise Love” chronicling the dedicated rescue workers in Oklahoma and the dealership’s journey picking up the dogs for a mega adoption event at the store. Since that time, the dealership has been hosting bi-annual adoption events. Overall, Kelly and Brilliance Subaru have assisted in the rescue and adoption of 734 dogs.
