Recognizing Staff and Volunteers at Animal Welfare Organizations Who Pair Adoptable Pets with Their Possible Matches
In celebration of National Matchmaker Day on August 31st, Petco Love and BOBS® from Skechers® recognize the lifesaving work done by adoption coordinators and shelter staff who enable lifechanging bonds every single day for pets in their care. These dedicated Matchmakers spend time with potential adopters to get insight into what they are looking for to help connect them with a dog, cat, or small pet in their shelter who fits into their lifestyle, family dynamic, and captures their heart.
While some people tune in to weekly dating television shows, adoption counselors get a front row seat to true love connections on a daily basis. These Matchmakers spend countless hours getting to know the pets staying at their shelters, as each pet has their own unique personality and needs. When community members are interested in adopting, shelter staff ask them questions to gauge which pet might be a good fit for their family. "We can take their qualities and expectations and try to find a pet that is similar to what they are looking for! Keep an open mind and ask shelter staff for some recommendations. We all love our animals so much, we would love to share more about them," said Megan, Adoption Counselor at Jacksonville Humane Society in
Adoption coordinators say keeping an open mind is key for potential adopters as some of the best love matches are unexpected. "It's good to know what you're looking for but be willing to be surprised. A good pet adoption will arise when you know you're willing to do anything for the furry friend you meet," said Jose, Adoption Specialist at San Diego Humane Society. Just like finding a good human match, appearance isn't everything. "The pet who may not initially stand out to you may be the best fit for your home and the most amazing companion you could imagine. Try to look past the pet's looks and into their heart; that's where you'll find a true match," said Kayleigh, Public Information Officer at Pima Animal Care Center in
"This year, Petco Love is celebrating our 25th anniversary and 25 years of love. We've seen countless heartwarming connections made between adopted pets at shelters and wonderful pet parents, and their lives are forever changed for the better," said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. "The love an adopted pet brings into our home is unconditional, unwavering, and everlasting."
BOBS® from Skechers® is committed to supporting pet adoptions at shelters. "It's our intent to help as many pets in shelters as possible," said Jenn Clay, vice president of Corporate Communications at Skechers USA, Inc. "BOBS® from Skechers® is excited to highlight the lifesaving work of Matchmakers at shelters and rescues across the country and continue our ongoing mission to help pets who need it most."
