Web 2.0 entrepreneurs Russell Self and Emilia Izquierdo have created a website allowing users to share pets. At pooless.com, registered participants can enter customized profiles of their domestic animals of any species. Other users may then signal their interest and arrange for a variety of sharing options. Says Izquierdo ‚Just think of how many German shepherds lie to rot in their owners’ basements just because they are not needed anymore. A shame, really, but why abandon the animal altogether? Pooless allows you to find someone who likes your dog more than you do and takes pleasure in caring for him every now and then. The same may be true of your kids’ cichlidae or your partner’s painted turtles. Saves you some on food expenses and Paw and Claw Taxes too!’

Among the options for advanced members will be a feature facilitating waste of time, maps of common routes for walking the dog in your neighborhood and a foto gallery of pets and things unrelated to pooless.

‚Pets are not the whole story though as our site is a great place for meeting people too!“, added Self. ‚After all, online’s the same as offline. It is about people hoping to date other people they dream up as their ideal friends and spouses a malicious offline fate has kept them from meeting. Now Pooless has the answer. It is your pet matchmaker of choice - the shidduch no one sees but everyone has to pay!“

In the past, both Self and Izquierdo have developed a number of successful social applications, including E-Diots, a platform for users that have the same blood cholesterol level, and traffuck, a system for tracking people you once met at a red traffic light.

Pooless is a non-venture capital funded enterprise. Self and Izquierdo hope to reach probability by 2012.
