Wag Labs, Inc., (“Wag!” or “the Company”), an American pet services marketplace company powering a mobile-first technology platform that enables on-demand and scheduled dog walking, training, and other pet care services, announced today the launch of its Wag! Community Shares Program (“the Program”).
With the Program, Wag! is pioneering a new method of charitable giving for the community of pet caregivers and for domestic pet nonprofit organizations. At the close of its previously announced business combination with CHW Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: CHWA, “CHW”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, Wag! will reserve up to 300,000 shares of common stock for the Program, to be arranged through and administered by Robinhood Financial LLC, an American financial services company, and DonateStock, a fintech philanthropy company.
Throughout the Company’s history, Wag! has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for all pets, providing over 16.5 million meals to pets through a partnership with the Greater Good GOODS Program. As part of Wag!’s and CHW’s business combination, which is expected to close later this quarter, this new Community Shares Program further builds on the Company’s commitment to charitable giving and furthers Wag!’s support of nonprofit pet organizations that support animals and pets in need. Wag! will also include the community of pet caregivers on the Wag! Platform in the Community Shares Program.
The Community Shares Program, announced on July 25, 2022, will reserve up to 150,000 shares of common stock to be liquidated with the proceeds to be distributed to hundreds of pet-related nonprofits by DonateStock. The Jacksonville Humane Society has been nominated to receive a grant via this program.
“The Jacksonville Humane Society is very appreciative of this grant opportunity to continue our important lifesaving work for pets and people in our community,” said Denise Deisler, JHS CEO.
