Alongside its donation milestone, BOBS also granted "Paws for a Cause" scholarships to two college students who submitted winning shoe designs. Collegiate designers Teeny Nadeau of Cal State Fullerton and Maki Shigetani of USC - whose winning designs were inspired by their own rescue pets - were each awarded $10,000 scholarships on behalf of the Skechers Foundation.

The company also honored rescue shelters personally selected by the Paws for Cause winners, teaming up with national non-profit partner Petco Love to present Los Angeles- and Orange County-based spcaLA and MeoowzResQ with $10,000 grants of their own.

During the ceremonies, BOBS and their partners also helped a total of five dogs and kittens from SPCA LA find their new forever homes.
