“The BOBS from Skechers movement has inspired communities
everywhere who love animals—and through this collection, we
continue to find new ways to help make a difference,” said Michael
Greenberg, president of Skechers. “From growing our BOBS apparel
lines to offering low-cost, on-site vaccination services at our
adoption events, we’re giving consumers more opportunities to show
their love and care for shelter dogs and cats—and we’re grateful to
have our great partner Petco Love along for this incredible
journey.”
Initially a philanthropic collection of slip-on styles that
donated new shoes to children in need, the BOBS from Skechers
movement now includes a popular offering of footwear, apparel and
accessories dedicated to helping shelter animals. For every BOBS
from Skechers item purchased in the United States and Canada, a
donation is made to Petco Love to help support shelter pets and its
4,000 animal welfare partners across North America.* Skechers has
helped save over 1.1 million dogs, cats and other animals through
pet adoptions, and contributed to the care of over 400,000
additional animals at nurseries, sanctuaries and medical care
facilities.
Additionally, Skechers and Petco Love continue to recognize
organizations across the country that have gone above and beyond to
protect and save shelter dogs and cats by investing in their
lifesaving work with special grants and check celebrations. These
grants allow the organizations to expand their efforts to help more
animals in need through adoption, medical care, and numerous other
lifesaving initiatives throughout the nation.
“The work we do with BOBS from Skechers allows us to help even
more animals and bring pets and families together,” said Susanne
Kogut, president of Petco Love. “The donations from Skechers are
lifesaving and help us build closer, stronger, and healthier
communities for both pets and the people who love them.”
The BOBS from Skechers collection is available at Skechers.com,
Skechers and department and specialty locations in the United
States and Canada as well as select Petco stores. To learn more,
