Our Mission

We believe in a world where pups can have many nearby friends who love and treat them like their parents do. We want to connect neighbors to each other and together share our passion for dogs without focusing on monetary gain. PupHero’s goal is to enable more people to experience the benefits of spending time with a dog, in hopes of increasing shelter adoptions worldwide.
