If there’s anything I love more than buying cute shoes, it’s helping homeless pets. And believe it or not, I’ve found a way to do both at the same time.
Did you know that when you purchase a pair of BOBS for Dogs, you’re helping Skechers donate millions of dollars to save the lives of dogs and cats in America’s shelters.
How, you ask? BOBS has partnered with Best Friends Animal Society, a no-kill organization dedicated to helping animals in need. Take a look at this quick video to learn more.
How Can BOBS for Dogs from Skechers Help?
You may recall that Best Friends is the organization that played a major role in the rescue and rehabilitation of the dogs in the Michael Vick case back in 2007. Can you believe that was 10 years ago?
And now Skechers has created an entire line of adorable BOBS in so many pet-centric styles and colors. There’s even some for cat lovers! Click here to see what I mean!
For every pair of these cute BOBS from Skechers sold in the United States, 25 cents will be donated to Best Friends to help save the lives of dogs and cats in our shelters.
And the best part is, Skechers has committed to donate at least 3 million dollars to Best Friends for all sales through August 2018.
Although I want one of every single pair BOBS has to offer, I managed to narrow it down to the pair pictured above. Take a look below; adorable, aren’t they?
And did I mention how amazingly comfortable and versatile these shoes are? LOVE them!
13 MILLION PAIRS DONATED TO KIDS IN NEED
If you’re not familiar with BOBS, you’ll be happy to learn that through their non-profit partners, BOBS helps children affected by poverty, homelessness, epidemics, and other life-changing events. They’ve donated new shoes to kids in the United States and more than 30 countries worldwide. Take a look at this quick video to learn more.
I absolutely love to give my hard earned money to responsible businesses that care about the world we live in. The fact that BOBS is working so hard to help kids and animals in need is all I need to know, and I hope you feel the same way.
So, what do you think of BOBS for Dogs? Don’t you think these would make awesome gifts for the pet lovers in your life… or maybe even a special treat for yourself? They’re the perfect addition to your Spring and Summer wardrobe, so now is a great time to stock up!

March 2, 2017 at 8:23 pmAbsolutely adorable shoes what I wonder is why only 25c really? They sell for 40dollads and only 25c is being donated

April 1, 2017 at 4:31 pmI agree. Seems like a pittance compared to all the publicity they get from Best Friends.

April 3, 2017 at 9:51 amWell, when you consider that they’re donating a total of $3 million to Best Friends, I think that’s quite a commitment.
Plus, on top of that, consider the cost for BOBS to make the shoes, the fact that BOBS donates one pair of shoes (for every pair purchased) to children in need, and the fact that they are a for-profit business that needs to make money to stay in business, I think it’s a deal that Best Friends is very happy with and that $3 million will be put to good use.

September 21, 2016 at 8:12 pmOh wow this is so cool we’ve never heard of the shoes before! If there’s a pair with Doxies on them mom will have to have them. Unfortunately she has really weird feet and can’t wear Skechers. But a lot of people do and that’s great! Love Dolly

October 1, 2016 at 9:24 amI just received mine and I love them! I ordered the white with pit face and the grey gentle giants pair. I have to admit I am surprised how comfortable they are. I probably shouldn’t have been because Skectchers have such wonderful and comfortable shoes though. Not only did I get two pair of great shoes but Best Friends gets a portion to help animals. What a great deal
