Cape Animal Shelter teams with Petco Love and Skechers to promote fostering pets
The Cape Coral Animal Shelter is teaming up with national nonprofit Petco Love and Skechers with its BOBS from Skechers philanthropic footwear collection, to put the focus on the fun in fostering pets. Pet fostering is lifesaving and critical for animal shelters particularly during the busy summer season.
Throughout June, Petco Love will work with its network of partners nationwide to share the fun aspects of fostering while helping pet parents through their foster pet goodbyes. Petco Love is taking a humorous approach to saying goodbye to foster pets by holding a #MyFosterBreakUp story contest featuring Foster Breakup Kits giveaways and a curated playlist to help foster pet parents through their goodbyes.
Kits include breakup essentials: cozy, festive socks from BOBS from Skechers, a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, Kleenex, the official Petco Love Foster Breakup Spotify Playlist, and a foster tee that reminds you that “Foster Pets are Here for A Fun Time, not a Long Time.”
Foster parents can enter to win by sharing their breakup letter from their foster pet on Instagram using the hashtag #MyFosterBreakUp from June 1 -30 and even win $10,000 in lifesaving funds for the organization they foster from.
The Cape Coral Animal Shelter will also join shelters nationwide for the National Foster Pet Open House event by inviting the public to visit the shelter located at 325 S.W. 2nd Ave., Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26, at 2 p.m., for an interactive foster meet-and-greet party for two-and four-legged friends.
At the Open House, prospective foster parents will tour the shelter and learn everything they need to know to become a foster family.
Establishing June as National Foster a Pet Month to increase participation in fostering is just one of the lifesaving actions led by Petco Love in its 23-year history of helping pets, with $330 million invested in lifesaving efforts and 6.5 million pets adopted – and counting. Skechers has contributed more than $8 million to help over 1.5 million shelter pets, including saving 1.1 million rescued pets in the United States and Canada.
