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.
Dog lovers are primed and ready
100,000+ shares across 20+ articles
150+ Walkzee Ambassadors
Nearly 40,000 people across social channels

shelter dog

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.
