Our partnership with Skechers
As an organisation that’s already helping pets overseas, it’s no surprise we got off on the right foot with global brand Skechers. And now we’re very excited to share our new partnership! By working together, we’ll make a bigger difference for pets in need – every step of the way.
How they’re helping
Woodgreen has teamed up with Skechers through the company’s philanthropic BOBS from Skechers range, which supports animal organisations like ours. We’re the first animal charity in the UK to get involved in this amazing initiative.
Here’s how the partnership works: 25p from the purchase of every product sold from the specially marked collection will be donated to Woodgreen.* With the scheme in place across the company’s extensive network of Skechers stores, skechers.co.uk and third party retailers carrying Skechers in the UK, it’s expected to fetch vital funds that enable us to help pets and their people.
BOBS for Dogs by Skechers
A year-round lifestyle brand, Skechers’ iconic BOBS collection features popular dog breeds, cartooned animal mosaics as well as apparel from its recently launched animal-themed casual and sleepwear collections. Through its partnerships with animal welfare organisations in the US and Canada, Skechers has donated over $8 million USD, helping to save and support more than 1.5 million shelter pets. And now with Woodgreen, Skechers can help save many more.
“The BOBS from Skechers program has been a great success in North America, helping more than 1.5 million animals – and now, with the charitable component in the UK through our partnership with Woodgreen, we think we can make a substantial impact in the lives of animals in need. BOBS from Skechers has grown into a well-recognised brand, with hugely popular styles that resonate with consumers and animal lovers across our market. For consumers, it’s an easy-to-understand message: for every purchase of specially marked BOBS from Skechers footwear, apparel and accessories, you can make a difference. Look good, feel good—can’t beat that.”
