Even if you’re not familiar with the term “cuffing season,” you’re probably familiar with the concept. As the weather gets colder and everyone heads inside, most have no desire to go out. Most prefer to have someone special to come home to and stay warm inside with every night. “Cuffing season” represents those winter months we all just want a cuddle buddy who won’t leave us even when the snow thaws.
Coors Light wants to let everyone who doesn’t have a Valentine this year know they don’t have to be alone. From February 4th, 2020 through the 21st, Coors Light will help cover the adoption fees of 1,000 shelter dogs. One of those lucky recipients could be you!
Chelsea Parker, Marketing Manager at Molson Coors, explained how being single isn’t so bad when you have a forever friend.
“Cuffing Season is a major cultural trend and poses tension for our younger drinkers, as they navigate the stress of finding someone to spend the cold months with. With almost half of millennials planning to stay in on Valentine’s Day, we wanted to help empower people to savor the day with Coors Light and a dog by their side.”
So if you don’t have a special human to spend February 14th with, why not spend it with a rescue dog instead? You can count on the fact that a dog’s love lasts past Valentine’s Day. For the rest of their lives, in fact!
