Millions of dog lovers who are not volunteering. Why?

Not sure howCannot commit to a regular schedule

Put off by barriersJust haven’t thought about it

But people do want to help.

Volunteering just needs to be packaged a little differently.

Target people who love dogs and make the experience fun and

shareable.

The walkzee concept

Engage millions of dog lovers who don’t

volunteer

Get them on the walkzee community

Enable them to search find and request to walk a

shelter dog

Allow dog and person a lovely day out

Enable them to share the experience

Exposure to more potential adopters

More volunteers

Nearly half of pet owners learned about their pet through word of

mouth(Source: ASPCA)

We need more people engaged and more people talking about

shelter dogs.

So let’s enable them to enjoy a day out together

then share the experience online

and create a community to bust the negative stereotypes and

drive more adoptions.
