Methai shared that the idea for Offleash’d came to him while he was courting his now wife.

"We want to foster all types of connections," said Methai, "including finding new people around the neighborhood with animals, creating meetup groups, or finding someone who you can build a pet family with." The app’s purpose is to provide an inclusive community to make connections through their shared experiences and love for pets.

There are two modes on the app: friendship (called Pet Social) or dating. If you’re an animal person seeking another animal person to hang with - whether it’s to meet a bestie or a boo – this Seattle-based app is just for you.ĬEO Manish Methai created Offleash’d, which he calls the first-ever friendship and dating app for ALL pet parents, "this includes dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, fish and more."
