Looking at the Wish-List located on the Happy Tales’ website, one can immediately see their ‘Pie in the Sky’ list, which includes two items: a used van and gift cards to various stores. Kat Hitchcock, the executive director, stated that Happy Tales had “discussed having transportation for their animal services” throughout the time she has been there, and even further back since their start-up in 1996. Darrell Waltrip Subaru partnered to contribute a small amount per Subaru test driven to raise money for the van to be given to Happy Tales Humane. The van is a Honda Odyssey and “will be used to transport foster pets to adoption days”, according to the recent Tennessean article on the donation.
Kat laughingly recalls the incident that made her run out to the parking lot when she first saw the van and was given the keys, stating that she “had no idea” about the donation and thought that a cat had been injured.
Jamie Putman from Darrell Waltrip joined with Kourtney Horner of Happy Tales to surprise Kat with the van. The custom graphics on the van were provided by Murray Johns of 12-Point SignWorks.
All of us at Darrell Waltrip Honda-Volvo-Subaru wish many happy miles for Kat and the Happy Tales crew- there isn’t a better organization we could have helped!!
