I started Scrubby because I believe every pet deserves organized care from day one. That belief doesn't start when someone already has a pet — it starts at adoption. That's why I'm thrilled to announce our partnership with the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County for an adoption event on February 20, 2026.
Why This Partnership Matters
The Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County has been saving lives in the Mid-South for decades. They take in thousands of animals each year — dogs, cats, and everything in between — providing medical care, behavioral support, and a safe place to wait for a family.
Scrubby's mission aligns perfectly with theirs. When a pet gets adopted, the new owner immediately needs a way to keep track of vaccinations, vet records, medications, and emergency contacts. That's exactly what Scrubby does — and we want every newly adopted pet to start with that foundation.
What Adopters Get
Every family that adopts at the event will receive:
- A free Scrubby pet passport — we'll help you set up your new pet's digital health profile on the spot, including any vaccination records from the shelter
- A free smart QR safety tag — if your new pet ever gets loose, anyone who scans the tag instantly sees your contact info and your pet's medical needs. No app required for the finder.
- Ongoing care tools — automatic vaccination reminders, vet record scanning, weight tracking, and breed-specific care guides built into the app
Our goal is simple: no newly adopted pet should go home without an organized health record and a way to get home safely if they wander off.
Event Details
- Date: Thursday, February 20, 2026
- Location: Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County — 935 Farm Rd, Memphis, TN 38134

Whether you're ready to adopt or just want to come meet the animals, we'd love to see you there. Bring the family — the more the merrier.
Why Scrubby Invests in Community
Scrubby is a fully remote company, but community isn't something that only happens behind a screen. We work with local event ambassadors to be on the ground at shelters, adoption events, and in the cities where our users live. Memphis is one of those cities, and this partnership is how we put that into practice.
Partnerships like this one with the Memphis Humane Society reflect what we care about most: making sure every pet has the best possible start, whether they come from a breeder, a rescue, or a shelter kennel. The tools we build — health tracking, safety tags, vaccination scanning, service booking — they all serve the same purpose: giving pet parents confidence that they're doing right by their animals.
How You Can Help
Even if you can't make it to the event, there are plenty of ways to support:
- Share this post — help us spread the word to Memphis pet lovers
- Follow @usescrubby on Instagram — we'll be posting live from the event

Building Scrubby: A Remote SaaS Story
This adoption event is one piece of a bigger story. I'm building Scrubby as a fully remote, solo-founded SaaS company — from product development and engineering to community partnerships like this one. No office, no VC playbook, just a laptop and a mission to make pet care better.
I'll be writing more about what that looks like: the wins, the hard parts, how community events fit into a remote founder's growth strategy, and what it actually takes to ship a product people use. If that sounds interesting, follow along on the blog or on Instagram @usescrubby.
This is part of an ongoing series on building a SaaS company remotely. More posts coming soon.
