Community Impact: 10% Donation to Melbourne Dog Rescue & Animal Welfare

Walking with purpose in South Melbourne and neighbouring suburbs. Every solo dog walk and boutique boarding stay helps fund local rescue, vet care and rehoming.

Why We Donate 10%: Building a Kinder Melbourne for Dogs

From day one, The Woof of Walk Street has championed low-stress, one-dog-only walking and compassionate, single-guest boarding. Extending that care to vulnerable dogs is natural. We commit 10% of profits to Melbourne dog rescue and animal welfare groups because safe, predictable routines shouldn’t be a privilege—every dog deserves them.

Donations help fund veterinary care, behavioural support, quality nutrition and temporary housing. We prioritise grassroots organisations operating in South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, Middle Park, Southbank and across Victoria.

How the 10% Donation is Calculated

Each month we calculate net profit from our solo dog walks and boutique boarding, allocate 10%, and contribute to selected local partners. We publish an annual summary and periodic blog updates for transparency.

Get Involved: Your Booking = Real Support for Melbourne Dog Rescue

The simplest way to help is to book a solo walk or book a boutique boarding stay. Every completed service contributes to the monthly donation pool—so your dog’s routine directly funds a dog in need.
