Zappos.Com and Best Friends Animal Society Announce “Home for the Pawlidayz” Pet Adoptions

For the second year, Zappos.com will sponsor free pet adoptions
from Black Friday through Cyber Monday

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#zapposZappos.com,
the online retailer known for its exceptional customer service, today
announced it will work for a second year with Best
Friends Animal Society
to sponsor pet adoptions this holiday season.
Beginning on Black Friday and continuing through Cyber Monday, customers
will have the opportunity to adopt a dog or cat through the Zappos.com
Pawlidayz initiative. The company has pledged to donate a total of $1.25
million to Best Friends Animal Society.

“Zappos is excited to work with Best Friends Animal Society for a second
year this holiday season,” said Steven Bautista, Karma Kommando at
Zappos.com. “Thousands of dogs and cats are in need of loving homes and
we want to give all of our customers the ability to make a difference in
their lives.”

Every day across the United States, 9,000 animals are euthanized simply
because they don’t have a place to call home. It is Zappos’ and Best
Friends’ goal to see 9,000 dogs and cats adopted between Friday,
November 25 and Monday, November 28. During one of the busiest shopping
times of the year, Zappos encourages customers to spread holiday cheer
and take the time to make a difference in the life of an animal by
providing a dog or cat with a forever home. More than 115 shelters,
rescues and humane organizations across the United States will
participate in the initiative, allowing customers nationwide the
opportunity to save a furry friend this holiday season.*

“We’re excited to partner with Zappos for the second year in a row on
this holiday promotion,” said Gregory Castle, co-founder and CEO of Best
Friends Animal Society. “Every animal that finds a permanent loving home
helps us to get one step closer to Save Them All.”

Zappos will also work with several animal-loving celebrities to drive
further awareness of the initiative, including Cesar Millan and Wynonna
Judd. Online influencers will also share the news over their digital
channels in an effort to bring greater attention to the charitable
initiative.

“I am excited to be part of the pack that Zappos has created for the
Pawlidayz adoption drive. Anytime humans come together to help animals,
amazing things happen,” said Cesar Millan, star of Dog Nation.
“This holiday, we will help thousands of animals find new homes, and
this is a great example of coming together as a pack to help animals in
need.”
