Share a Dog

Four years ago, Cheryl Moss and Russ Petersen founded Let’s Join Paws with one goal: to keep dogs out of shelters and in loving homes. Recently, the pair changed the name to Let’s Share A Dog, leaving no question as to what their Vegas-based animal welfare group does.

In April, they launched an app to help people share their dogs by pairing busy owners up with responsible dog lovers. The app, which has around 300 active users, is ideal for pet lovers who can’t commit to owning their own dog but have extra time to help current dog-owners with walks and play time.

Bottom line? “We don’t want dogs to be abandoned or destroyed,” Moss said. After all, “It’s the dog that suffers when life gets in the way.”
