PAAC - People Assisting Animal Control Hicks Family Subaru Charlie Hicks and Lulu Foster On October 21, 2023, Hicks Family Subaru hosted a heartwarming event at their location on 3615 SPID, Corpus Christi, TX 78415. The event featured Subaru swag bags, a delightful food truck, a skilled balloon artist, Subaru new parent boxes, and even offered on-the-spot engraving of ID tags for pets. Notably, the Halloween costume contest prizes added an extra layer of excitement, showcasing the incredible support provided by Hicks Family Subaru. This event, along with the preceding ones, has played a pivotal role in positively impacting countless animals and their owners. Hicks Family Subaru has consistently assisted pet owners in becoming compliant with vaccinations, facilitated adoptions from municipal shelters facing euthanasia, engaged volunteers for community events, and transformed these gatherings into enjoyable, family-oriented occasions that contribute significantly to our community. PAAC and Hicks Family Subaru have been steadfast partners since the dealership's inception, fostering a collaborative alliance that has significantly impacted numerous lives of animals. One heartwarming success story from the event involves Vixen, who discovered her forever home through the dedicated efforts of a volunteer from Aransas County Animal Care. After undergoing spay surgery at PAAC, Vixen recovered in the volunteer's home before making her debut at the Hicks Family Subaru Adoption Event. Although she didn't find a home during the event, the committed volunteer extended Vixen's stay to ensure her complete recovery. During this extended period, Vixen forged an unbreakable bond with the volunteer's rescue dog, Duke. The connection was so profound that Vixen's new mom couldn't bear to part with her. The decision was further eased by the invaluable financial support provided to Vixen before adoption by Hicks Family Subaru, which alleviated the financial challenges associated with welcoming a new pet. Vixen's new residence is in a charming Rockport neighborhood, complete with a spacious, fenced backyard where she can enjoy her days alongside her inseparable companion, Duke. The compassionate services and assistance not only secured Vixen a loving home but also made a meaningful impact on her mom's ability to navigate the financial responsibilities of pet ownership as a widow. The collective efforts of Hicks Family Subaru continue to make a positive difference in the lives of animals and their owners within our community.

Delgado was picked up as a stray on October 10th. He was confused and lost when found on the streets. People were pushing him away because he wanted attention from everyone he saw. When he arrived at animal control, it was obvious he didn't understand why he was in a cage. He didn't eat and staff and volunteers were concerned for his well-being. James came into the shelter and when he saw Delgado, he knew that he was going home with him. When James and his wife took Delgado out, they knew he was meant to be theirs. Delgado is now eating well and enjoying his life with his new family. Thanks for your support, Subaru!

Zena was overlooked and had sat at the shelter for months. She was spayed and taken to the Subaru event in hopes of an adoption. She was adopted by a sweet family that said she loves the kids and goes to all the ball games and events with them. She fit in perfectly and was meant for the family that came to Hicks Family Subaru on 10/23/21 to the PAAC - People Assisting Animal Control event. It is events like this that are able to give dogs and cats a chance for viewing outside of the shelter so families can see their personality better.
Loki may just seem like an everyday black dog to you, but to the family that adopted Loki, Loki is a special dog. Black dogs often get overlooked in shelters throughout the country. Loki had been at Aransas Animal Control for quite a while when we contacted them to work with us at the Hicks Family Subaru event. We were able to fully vet Loki and other pets and get Loki a forever home. Had it not been for the Hicks Family Subaru event on October 24th, Loki could have ended up euthanized. The Hicks family and all their staff were so helpful to our PAAC organization and to all the pet lovers that attended the event. Loki was so lucky the little girls screamed with excitement when they arrived at the event. Happy Tails Loki! Enjoy your new life with your family in a home!
Unprecedented times call for extraordinary action! These challenging times have placed an enormous amount of pressure on our community's small to medium-sized locally owned businesses. Many have been forced to make difficult decisions as they were mandated to close as "non-essential" businesses under our county's stay-at-home order. These local businesses were born out of the determination and hard work of their founders who often started with good ideas and found creative ways to bring their dreams to reality! One way to help drive some revenue into their hands when their doors are closed is through the support of gift card and gift certificate purchases. Putting much needed cash in the business owner's hands today can make a huge difference as they manage their finances through the unknown duration of the current crisis. Hicks Family Subaru, as part of the Hicks Automotive Group, launched the "Shop Local Support Campaign" for April with a $10,000 commitment to match any gift card or gift certificate purchased in support of a small to medium-sized locally-owned business located within 100 miles of Corpus Christi. Any supporter of a locally owned business would simply purchase a gift card/gift certificate, email us a copy of the receipt and the gift card/gift certificate and we would match their support by purchasing a gift card/gift certificate of equal value from the same business! The "Shop Local Support Campaign" was launched on social media and through local television news coverage on April 7th and within one week had already driven $20,000 of much needed liquidity ($10,000 from the Hicks Automotive Group and $10,000 from local supporters) into the hands of the local businesses! Over forty-five locally owned businesses received support during the first wave of the campaign. One local supporter captured the true essence of the campaign by posting, "Your event on Facebook game me so much inspiration to give back to our community and small businesses...y'all are amazing!" A local registered nurse on the front lines offered up her thoughts with "this is an amazing incentive your company is doing! Way to support our local people! God bless you all!" On April 14th, the Hicks Automotive Group extended the campaign by committing an additional $10,000 in support of the "Shop Local Support Campaign" to broaden the reach to more locally owned businesses in need of our community's support. At the conclusion of the campaign, the Hicks Automotive Group will present all of the matching gift cards/gift certificates purchased through our donation to our local first responders and the essential workers who are working tirelessly to keep us safe and healthy during this health crisis. Hicks Family Subaru and the Hicks Automotive Group are grateful for your support of our family business since 1973 and look forward to this "Shop Local Support Campaign" helping us pull each other through these challenging times...together! https://www.kristv.com/news/coronavirus/hicks-auto-group-helps-small-businesses-with-gift-card-match-program
This is my story in a nutshell; For the last two months I have test driven and researched various vehicles with several salesmen. Nathan by far was the most respectful, courteous, attentive, and motivated person (salesman). He was very informative, patient and answered every question with a sense of urgency during those two months! Nathan made sure my Crosstrek would be ready as promised on Friday January 10. I just returned from San Antonio and my friends/family were very impressed with my NEW vehicle and sales experience that I shared. The Crosstrek drives effortlessly but powerful. My time with Nathan as a representative of Subaru Corpus Christi will be shared at every opportunity it becomes a topic of conversation! Keep up the terrific team partnership! Please forward this message to Mr Hicks at Hicks Family Subaru. Honesty, integrity and respect were of the utmost! Thank you for allowing me to share my experience.

Refreshments were provided as well as shaved ice from Wienerschnitzel and Kona ice. Hicks Family Subaru made it possible for 7 of the 9 dogs brought in to find new homes through adoption.
