Walk the Shelters
"Walk the Shelters" was founded to strengthen the bond between humans and dogs. Our mission is to support shelters through regular walks with volunteers. We believe that each walk brings joy and exercise to the dogs and raises awareness for the needs of shelters.
Our philosophy is based on community, empathy, and commitment. We offer a platform that unites people who are passionate about the well-being of dogs.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every dog receives the love and attention they deserve. Our initiative not only offers help for shelters but also provides an enriching experience for everyone involved. Together, we make a real difference in the lives of dogs.

Dogs in need have always been a part of my life. As the founder of Walk the Shelters, I created a heartfelt project dedicated to shelter dogs, street dogs, and all those who are too often overlooked.
I am a certified veterinary assistant and dog trainer, and I use my knowledge, experience, and passion to give these dogs new hope. My mission is to raise awareness, provide help where it’s needed most, and inspire others to care about animal welfare.
Walk the Shelters is not just about helping – it’s about creating movement. For more visibility. For more dignity. For a better life on four paws.
As Co-Founder and creative head of Walk the Shelters, I’ve been part of this project since day one – shaping the vision, strategy, and everything behind the scenes.
I’m responsible for the website, design, social media, and the structure that brings our message to life online. I also co-organize every walk, from planning routes to capturing content and making sure everything runs smoothly.
I’m present at every single walk – not just behind the camera, but actively involved on the ground. I know the dogs, the stories, the places – and I carry them with me in every piece of content we share.
My heart beats for dogs in need. Through my creative work, I want to give them the visibility and voice they deserve – because their stories matter deeply to me.
Even if I’m not always in front of the camera, every step we take is one I share with full commitment – online and in real life.

Hey, I'm Lisa, and Walk the Shelters is my passion project.
Animals have always touched me deeply. Their loyalty, their trust, their silent endurance – especially in animal shelters – touches my heart. With Walk the Shelters, I've found a way to give back. I organize volunteer opportunities, walk the dogs, listen – to the people and the animals – and create moments of connection.
What drives me? That sparkle in a dog's eyes when it's back outside for a walk after days. The smile of a person who goes above and beyond – on the first walk, the first conversation in Spanish or English. And the certainty that together we can make a difference – step by step, paw by paw.
For me, Walk the Shelters isn't just an idea. It's a feeling. And I'm grateful to be a part of it.
