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.
Kogut also says those who adopt will make holiday wishes come true for dedicated shelter workers who work tirelessly to save pets.
"These mega adoption initiatives are really about filling communities with love, unconditional pet love,” Kogut said.
The donations from Skechers help Petco Love help a lot of animals and bring pets and families together.
“The donations from Skechers are lifesaving and help us build closer, stronger, and healthier communities for both pets and the people who love them,” Kogut said.
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, according to the release.
Those funds helped save and support 1.7 million shelter dogs and cats.
