Campaign Summary

We are opening a Zoom Room indoor dog gym/dog park franchise (in the San Francisco Bay Area’s East Bay) to give active people a fun place to attend obedience and agility training classes with their dogs. Zoom Room provides positive reinforcement dog training where people and their dogs learn together, socialize, and attend workshops, parties, and fundraisers. Zoom Room also sells eco-friendly, Made-in-the-USA retail products. 

Check out the official Zoom Room website

In addition, we will offer therapy pet training classes, so dogs can visit sick children, seniors, and even returning veterans to help brighten their day. We also plan to offer a reading program where kids learning to read can read to dogs!

Animals are playing a larger role in our lives, and busy people want to provide them with an exceptional life. Active families are flocking to an ever-growing number of animal-related facilities across the nation.

Enter Shelley R. Brooks and Jody Linick!  They make a great team to open a dog-related business in pursuit of their passion for helping dog owners improve their pet's lives. The Shelley-Jody team brings over 20 combined years of small-business-owner experience, including marketing and financial/bookkeeping skills. This combination allows each owner to play to her strengths while working as a team to maintain and grow the business.


What We Need & What You Get

We are asking for help in funding our dream. We are kicking in our own money, getting a Small Business Administration (SBA) Loan, and asking for your help in raising $29,000 to make this dream a reality.

Your $29,000 in contributions will go toward:

  • Agility Equipment
  • Indoor and Outdoor Signs
  • Computer hardware/software
  • Point of Sale system
  • Other furniture and equipment

Perks:

We are offering fun, functional perks as token "Thank You's" that will help you and your friends show your dogs how much you love them! These include (depending upon the level of your support):

  • A reflector ID dog tag
  • A Zoom Room dog food can lid 
  • A Zoom Room dog food scoop
  • A Zoom Room portable water bowl
  • A Zoom Room logo Tote Bag with the above goodies
Don't have a dog? You can still make a contribution, and give your Perk(s) to a friend, or donate them to your local animal shelter! Don't want any Perks? Just enter an amount in the "Your Contribution" box and click the "Contribute Now" button.

Risks & Challenges

Starting a new venture is always a challenge. That’s why we decided to go with the franchise model. As Zoom Room franchisees, we will receive extensive instruction in how to become top notch dog trainers; access to the Zoom Room proprietary curriculum; an Operations Manual with hundreds of details on how to run and manage our store; advertising and marketing support; and community support from other Zoom Room owners nationwide.

We have a long road ahead of us, but we’re eager to embrace the challenges as we leverage our years of business experience as aesthetician (Shelley) and bookkeeper (Jody) and bring those skills to our retail store/gym. Our 20 combined years as successful small business owners provides the solid foundation we will need to make our Zoom Room a success!
