Miami-Dade County Animal Services, BOBS from Skechers & Petco Love host pet adoption event at Skechers in Hialeah on June 12

BOBS from Skechers and Petco Love to help shelter pets find loving homes by hosting a pet adoption event at Skechers in Hialeah, located at 3301 W Okeechobee Rd, Hialeah, FL 33012, on Saturday, June 12, 2021, from 11 a.m. to 3.pm.  Representatives from the charitable footwear brand and long-time leaders in animal welfare will join Animal Services’ adoptable cats and dogs to find life-long homes for the pets in need of loving families. All adoptions include the first set of age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, deworming, and spay/neuter surgery. Adoption fees are $85 for puppies, $65 for dogs 4-months and older and $35 for cats. 

This June, BOBS from Skechers is teaming up with partner Petco Love, a national non-profit working to lead and inspire change for animals, to encourage animal adoptions during National Foster a Pet Month by hosting adoption events at Skechers retail stores across the country in conjunction with animal welfare partner organizations affiliated with Petco Love. Skechers customers can also contribute by rounding up their purchase at Skechers retail locations nationwide to help Petco Love save shelter dogs and cats. 

The National Foster a Pet Month animal adoption and register roundup events are the latest in Skechers’ lifesaving commitment to shelter dogs and cats. Skechers donates funds through purchases of its diverse collection of BOBS shoes, apparel, and accessories; to date, the Company has contributed more than $6.6 million, funds that have helped save and support more than 1.2 million shelter dogs and cats in the United States and Canada.

“We appreciate the opportunity to showcase our adoptable pets at offsite events that take them into the community in hopes of finding their forever family,” said Lorna Mejia-Lopez, Animal Services Interim Director of Miami-Dade County Animal Services Pet Adoption and Protection Center. “Thanks to valued partners like BOBS from Skechers and Petco Love, hundreds of our pets find caring homes at community sponsored events throughout the county.”

“It truly hits home to see our BOBS mission bring pet families together at our Skechers stores during National Foster a Pet Month—it’s such a wonderful feeling to unite these deserving animals with their forever homes,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Thanks to our partnership with Petco Love and the support of our customers, we can expand our lifesaving work to include these essential pet adoption events.”

“Shelter pets were there for us throughout the pandemic providing unconditional love and joy; fostering and adopting is a way to be there for them this National Foster a Pet Month,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. “As part of Petco Love’s commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized, we’re proud to partner with BOBS from Skechers and our hardworking animal welfare partners, like Miami-Dade County Animal Services, to make communities and pet families closer, stronger and healthier.”
