Walkzee Kickstarter Wants To Pair Dogless Walkers With A Shelter Pooch

Published A Few Days Ago

Who wants to go for walkies with shelter dogs? If you raised your hand, then this Kickstarter project is for you!

With urban sprawl running rampant (and with no signs of letting up in the near future), it’s just not feasible for many metropolis dwellers to own a dog. But if you need a doggy fix and a furry walking buddy, walkzee wants to connect you with shelter dog.

As the first free online platform connecting shelter dogs in need of a walk to dog lovers looking for a walking buddy, walkzee is looking for backers on Kickstarter. The brainpuppy of Cristina and Charlie Saunders, the idea for walkzee came about after a trip to Hawaii. While on a walk, they came across an amazing shelter dog field trip program, where locals and visitors are encouraged to visit and take shelter dogs out for the day. After taking Big Z (the Zee in walkzee) out for the day, the couple realized what a wonderful initiative it was. Not only was it benefiting the dog, but also the shelter and the walkers!

So how will walkzee help dogs and people?

    There’s already a walkzee site, and the first phase of the project is already complete. Interested walkers can now:

      The Kickstarter project is to raise funds for stage 2 of the project. walkzee aims to engage with shelters, improve the website with enhancements and integrations, and build up the walking community.

      I love this idea and think that it has real potential of taking off. There are a few different levels of pledges, and I’m leaning toward the “Support the Underdog” hoodie! To make a pledge and learn more about the site, visit walkzee’s Kickstarter page.
