What better way to give back to animals in need than doing so while exercising with your own pet? Walk for a Dog is a cool new app developed by WoofTrax that encourages pet owners to walk their dogs while at the same time giving back to animals in need.
With Walk for a Dog both you and your pet get a great work out while also spending some time together outdoors. For every mile you walk the app will donate up to 25 cents to your favorite animal shelter. So grab a leash and some sneakers and get walking! It’s amazing to think you can help a dog just by walking yours!
What is Walk for a Dog?
Walk for a Dog is an app developed by WoofTrax intended to encourage dogs and their owners to get walking! By selecting which animal shelter you would like your donations to go to, Walk for a Dog tracks your mileage and with every mile completed donates between 11-25 cents to that organization. There are many shelters and organizations in New Hampshire that can benefit from your walks. The app will lead you through the process so its easy for you to participate. Why not get a group of your dog friends together and organize a group walk for your favorite dog charity.
How does it work?
Walk for a Dog is super easy to download! It is 100% free and can be found right in the app store on your phone. Once you’ve downloaded the app you can fill in your info and then continue on to create a simple profile for your dog(s) (don’t worry- these profiles are private unless you choose to share them). Once both you and your pet are registered in the app and ready to walk pick which animal rescue organization you’d like to support and then hit “Start Walking.”
Now the app will track your distance, duration and speed. Once you’ve finished walking hit “Stop Walking.” After this you will be able to see your History and Impact under the appropriate tabs. Don’t have a dog? That’s okay too. You can sign up to walk for a virtual dog or a friend’s dog.
Help a Dog by Walking Yours -What About the Donations??
Walk for a Dog is a non-profit project based on advertisement and sponsorship. It uses these sponsorship and advertisement deals to make the donations to your selected shelter. Users do not have to make any personal donations.
