Adoption in May
More than 1 in 4 U.S. pet parents admit they would
rather video chat with their pet than their significant other,
according to a new Logitech survey. In celebration of this type of
pet connection and National Pet Month, today, Logitech announced a
sponsorship with the San Francisco SPCA and Massachusetts’
MSPCA-Angell to help pet parents be #PetProud. In May, Logitech is
providing on-site cat or dog adopters with a free Logi Circle Home
Security Camera, a wireless camera that keeps you closer to your
pets, when you’re away from home.

“Here at Logitech, we love our pets, and we’re thrilled to work
with San Francisco SPCA and the MSPCA-Angell to give new pet
parents the Logi Circle, so they can stay connected to their furry
friend even when they're away from home,” said Vincent Borel,
director of new ventures at Logitech.
The Sponsorship: Logitech x SPCA
In addition to providing adopters with a free Logi Circle in
May, between June and October, Logitech is offering every on-site
cat or dog adopters with a $50 discount coupon toward the Logi
Circle. Both the San Francisco SPCA and Boston’s MSPCA-Angell have
set up live streams powered by the Logi Circle. You can tune into
live video of adoptable animals by visiting:

and https://www.sfspca.org/adoptions/videostreams.
“Our partnership with Logitech makes it even easier to bring a
new pet into your life,” said Cynthia Kopec, the chief operating
officer of San Francisco SPCA. “We want to help adopters find their
perfect match – our goal is a loving home and lasting bond. We find
homes for approximately 5,000 animals every year, and we’re excited
that the Logi Circle will help our adopters stay connected with
their pets throughout the day.”
“We do our best to prep adopters so that the transition to a new
home goes smoothly for both the pet and parent,” said Jean Weber,
director of animal protection at MSPCA-Angell. “When Logitech
introduced us to the Logi Circle, we knew the camera could help the
relationship between the parent and pet thrive.”
The Facts: Connecting With Your Pet
The Logitech survey also found that 86 percent of pet parents
agree that their pet would be happier if they could interact with
them when they’re away from home. Plus, the survey results show
that 56 percent of pet parents want to watch their pet while
they’re away, and 46 percent of pet parents want to talk to their
pet when they are away.
The Logi Circle features a built-in mic and speaker that let you
talk to your pet at home, so you can say “hello” to the new puppy
or hear if he is barking. Through the free iOS® or Android™ app,
the camera features unlimited HD video streaming with night vision
and personal, daily summaries called Day Briefs™. With Day Briefs,
pet parents can now know what their pet does all day, in just 30
seconds. Created on-demand, Day Briefs can be downloaded, and then
shared with family or friends anytime. The Logi Circle is designed
to let you watch over your pets and home, so you’ll always have
paws in your hands.
