“Many in the country are working from home or are under
stay-at-home orders and are feeling isolated. Adopting an animal
can make the difference,” said Michael Greenberg, president of
Skechers. “Consumers love the comfortable styles and give-back
message of BOBS from Skechers. We’re grateful that through their
purchases, we’ve been able to donate $509,000 already in 2020, help
thousands of animal welfare agencies during this challenging time
and enable them to offer companionship to all of those people who
are sheltering in place across our nation.”
“Skechers is truly making a difference,” added Susanne Kogut,
president of Petco Foundation. “Animal welfare organizations across
the country have been forced to innovate and operate in new ways,
including mobilizing record numbers of foster homes to care for
pets to support social distancing measures while saving animal
lives. Thanks to BOBS, many of our organizations can continue their
lifesaving work and connect their shelter pets with those who would
like to adopt them.”
Since 2016, Skechers has helped save the lives of more than
661,000 dogs, cats and other animals through pet adoptions, and
supported the care of more than 371,000 additional animals at
nurseries, sanctuaries and medical care facilities in the United
States. Through its iconic, animal-spirited footwear collections
and growing apparel and accessory offering, the Company continues
to raise lifesaving funds. For every BOBS from Skechers item
purchased in the U.S., a donation is made to the Foundation to help
save and support animals in its 4,000+ shelter and pet adoption
network.* BOBS also launched its lifesaving movement in Canada in
January 2020; for every purchase made in the country, a donation is
made to help save and support Canada’s shelter dogs and cats.**
The BOBS from Skechers collection of slip-ons, sport styles,
sandals, boots, slippers, apparel and accessories is available at
Skechers.com, Petco.com, Skechers and Petco stores and select

About the Petco
Foundation
At the Petco Foundation, we believe that every animal deserves
to live its best life. Since 1999, we’ve invested more than $260
million in lifesaving animal welfare work to make that happen. With
our more than 4,000 animal welfare partners, we inspire and empower
communities to make a difference by investing in adoption and
medical care programs, spay and neuter services, pet cancer
research, service and therapy animals, and numerous other
lifesaving initiatives. Through our Think Adoption First program,
we partner with Petco stores and animal welfare organizations
across the country to increase pet adoptions. So far, we’ve helped
more than 6 million pets find their new loving families, and we’re
just getting started. Visit petcofoundation.org to learn more about
how you can get involved.
