WHO: Powered by Petco Love and BOBS from Skechers™.

WHY: Pets deserve to spend their holidays in homes with loving families. With only 30% of pet homes acquiring their pets from shelters, these mega adoption events are part of a larger mission: to encourage pet-friendly homes to consider pet adoption.

“No pet should spend any day, especially the holidays, without a loving family. Adopting a pet fills your home with more love every day and will make your holidays “More Merrier,” said Petco Love president, Susanne Kogut. “You will also make holiday wishes come true for the dedicated shelter workers who work tirelessly to save these pets. These mega adoption initiatives are really about filling communities with love – unconditional pet love.”

“The work we do with BOBS from Skechers allows us to help even more animals and bring pets and families together,” said Kogut. “The donations from Skechers are lifesaving and help us build closer, stronger, and healthier communities for both pets and the people who love them.” By partnering with Petco Love and its partner animal welfare organizations, BOBS from Skechers donated over $9 million, including more than $5.4 million to Petco Love to date – funds that helped save and support 1.7 million shelter dogs and cats.
