Chapman BMW brings rural rescue to Globe

Posted

Monday, Jan. 18, nine dogs at Gila County Animal Care & Control went to a no-kill shelter in the Valley as Chapman BMW on Camelback came to Globe for one of their Rural Rescues.

Chapman BMW partnered with Arizona Animal Welfare League, a no-kill shelter, picking up the dogs from the Gila County Animal Shelter for transfer to AAWL. Monday’s rescue was one of the dealership’s Beemer’s Buddies events, which Chapman has sponsored for the past two years. The events are named after Beemer, a shelter dog adopted by Chapman’s general manager. Tiffany Buitrago, of Chapman BMW, said Beemer was now part of the family.

“It’s nice to be able to save other pets that might not have an opportunity at a forever home,” she added.

For each vehicle sold, Chapman BMW on Camelback will save a shelter pet.

“Today went fantastic. Gila is one of the oldest rural rescue partners we have, and we started this program in 2016,” said Michael Morefield, of AAWL. “Taking nine dogs is huge, and it’s also amazing that the longest dog here was only here two weeks; that’s because we come here so frequently. Chapman BMW helped pay for this rural rescue run, donated supplies and will be sponsoring 391 adoptions starting in February. We wanted them to see the difference they’re making in their community, and I think they really enjoyed it.”
