Startup Idea : Dog of the Block

Overcrowded animal shelters can choose to house dogs through this non-profit. A dog-loving member of the community can volunteer to donate a small portion of their lot for construction of a fenced-in area with a dog house. Ideally, the kennel would be right next to the sidewalk, and passer-bys can reach over and pet the dog, feed the dog, and maybe a leash can be hanging up and they can even take the dog for a walk. The pooch would truly be cared for by the community. The dog's quality of life is improved, the community comes together to raise it, and the dog/shelter gets more exposure to the public, increasing the dog's chances of being adopted by a family.
