Adopt & Shop
Doobert is an online software platform that is custom-built for pet rescuers and rescue organizations. Its founder, Chris Roy, has two passions: animals and aviation. He started flying animal rescues — transporting shelter dogs from high-kill locations to areas where they were more likely to be adopted - many years ago. After transporting hundreds of animals, Chris utilized his IT skills to put together a system to coordinate organization and communication within animal rescues and shelters. From there, his passion for the cause only grew as he learned more about the world of animal rescue and the challenges facing these organizations. Today, he's talking about his newest venture, Doobert Forward, which allows animal lovers to shop for their usual pet products while donating to shelters and rescues of their choice.
BIO:
Hi, I’m Chris Roy, founder and president of Doobert.
I’m a technology guy in my “day” job and I use my experience to create Doobert.com which is an online software platform custom-built for animal rescuers. It’s like a combination of Match.com specifically for animal shelters and rescues to find new partners, and then a volunteer Uber for getting the animals where they need to go. But it’s also the ONLY foster home management solution out there and the ONLY solution that allows you to get videos back easily.
I enjoy helping provide technology solutions to some of the biggest challenges in animal rescue and I am always looking for new ways to help animals and the people that care for them.
I’ve built Doobert to be a transparent, supportive organization. We always welcome suggestions, ideas, complaints, as it helps us to make the software even better.
