Finding Everlasting Love: Petco Love and BOBS From Skechers Celebrate National Matchmaker Day
Recognizing Staff and Volunteers at Animal Welfare Organizations Who Pair Adoptable Pets with Their Possible Matches
表彰动物福利组织的工作人员和志愿者,他们将可领养的宠物与可能的主人进行配对
SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- National nonprofit Petco Love, in partnership with BOBS from Skechers, is highlighting the matchmaking skills of pet adoption coordinators at more than 4,000 animal welfare partner shelters and rescues across the country. Pairing an adoptable pet with a family or individual takes passion, expertise, and a whole lot of love.
2024年8月27日圣安东尼奥 / PRNewswire —— 全国非营利组织Petco Love与Skechers的BOBS合作,重点关注全国4000多家动物福利伙伴收容所和救援组织的宠物领养协调员的搭配技巧。将可领养的宠物与家庭或个人配对需要激情、专业知识和大量的关爱。
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.
为了庆祝8月31日的国际媒婆日,Petco Love和Skechers的BOBS承认领养协调员和收容所工作人员的拯救性工作,他们每天都能为照顾他们的宠物建立改变生活的纽带。这些专注的媒婆花时间与潜在领养者交流,了解他们的需求,以帮助他们与适合他们的生活方式、家庭动态和博得他们心的狗、猫或小宠物相连接的收容所中的动物。
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 Jacksonville, Florida.
虽然有些人每周都会观看约会电视节目,但领养顾问每天都能近距离目睹真爱的发生。这些媒婆花费无数小时了解留在收容所的宠物,因为每只宠物都有自己独特的个性和需求。当社区成员有兴趣领养时,收容所工作人员会询问他们问题,以判断哪只宠物可能适合他们的家庭。“我们可以了解他们的品质和期望,并尽力找到一只与他们所寻找的相似的宠物!保持开放态度,并向收容所工作人员询问一些建议。我们都非常热爱我们的动物,很愿意多介绍一些关于它们的信息。”佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的Megan,领养顾问,说道。
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 Tucson, Arizona.
收养协调员表示,保持开放心态对潜在领养者来说至关重要,因为一些最好的爱情匹配是意想不到的。“了解自己想要什么,但要愿意被惊喜所打动。当你知道你愿意为你遇到的毛茸茸的朋友做任何事情时,你就会有一个好的宠物收养。”圣迭戈人道协会的收养专家何塞说。就像找到一个合适的人类伴侣一样,外表并不是一切。“那些一开始不引起你注意的宠物可能会是你家中最适合的,也可能会成为你无法想象的最棒的伴侣。试着看到宠物内心深处的样子,那里才能找到真正的匹配。”图森亚利桑那州皮马动物看护中心的公共信息官凯莉说。
"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."
“今年,Petco Love 正庆祝我们25周年和25年的爱。我们见证了收养宠物与出色的宠物父母之间无数感人的联系,并且他们的生活永远因此而变得更美好。” Petco Love 总裁苏珊娜·科格特(Susanne Kogut)说道:“被收养的宠物带给我们家的爱是无条件的,坚定不移的,永恒的。”
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."
Skechers的BOBS承诺支持动物收容所的宠物收养。“我们的目标是尽可能帮助更多的动物收容所中的宠物。” Skechers USA, Inc.公司企业传媒副总裁詹·克雷(Jenn Clay)说:“BOBS与Skechers很高兴展示全国各地收容所和救援组织的媒人们拯救生命的工作,并继续着我们帮助最需要帮助的宠物的使命。”
If you cannot adopt from your local shelter, volunteers and fosters are always needed to help shelter staff continue to make love matches. Fostering saves lives. If approximately 2% of pet-owning households in the U.S. fostered one pet a year, the nation could eliminate preventable euthanasia tomorrow. Fosters are needed in a variety of ways – from one-day fostering, to a week, or a month – from kitties, puppies, adult cats and dogs, and senior pets - there is a pet fostering option for you.
如果你不能从当地收容所收养宠物,志愿者和寄养人员总是需要帮助收容所工作人员继续进行配对工作。“寄养挽救生命。如果美国大约2%的养宠物户每年寄养一只宠物,全国可以在明天消除可预防的安乐死。寄养人员以各种方式提供帮助–从一天寄养,到一周或一个月 – 包括小猫,小狗,成年猫狗和老年宠物- 这里有一个适合您的宠物寄养选择。
