There are many local community-minded businesses and The Pooch Mobile is no exception.
The Pooch Mobile philosophy of “We Care” not only relates to cleaning and caring for dogs, it is strongly
tied to caring and helping the community, with operators throwing themselves relentlessly into many events to help raise money for charity.
A popular event is the Bath-a-thon. A team of operators get together and raise much needed funds
for local charities, schools or clubs. People are encouraged to bring their pooch along to be washed and the proceeds are donated to the event holders.
With a long-standing affiliation with many charities operators in most countries participate in the RSPCA Million Paws Walk, where a major dog bath-a-thon is also held. The Pooch Mobile also provides adopted dogs with an initial discounted service to help their new owners
establish good canine cleanliness and are actively involved in helping care for abused and rescued dogs.
Each year The Pooch Mobile is involved in the Variety Childrens Charity Jet Trek and in 2009 this event profited over $160,000 for special children.
Other partnerships include the Animal Welfare League, Lions Hearing Dogs, Assistance Dogs and Breast Cancer Awareness.
I know I speak for all Pooch Mobile franchisees in saying that we are so fortunate to be doing something we love that
we want to be able to give back to the community, says founder, Chris Taylor.
 Over the next 12 months we plan to raise more funds through our different events for Variety including helping another child receive an assistance dog. We are also working closely with the Lions Hearing Dogs and will be fundraising for them.
We encourage everyone to help in any way they can and donations can be made
via The Pooch Mobile, so make sure youre community conscious and keep an eye out for these upcoming local events:
The latest fundraising venture was for 3-year-old Reilly Paterson from Norman Park
in Queensland who has Autism. Reilly has been given a 2-year-old cross breed, Harry, who will assist Reilly in his every day life.
