We’re here to help the world to be more pet-friendly than it was the day before.
Baxta's mission
Baxta’s global platform connects pets, pet owners, and pet-loving communities with each other. Our technology simplifies the world of pet resources, businesses, and services by putting them at the fingertips of our pet community to deliver the best experiences and outcomes every day, all within a safe, pet-friendly environment.
When Chris met Daisy
When Baxta founder Chris Russell met Daisy the Frug in March 2016, it was love at first sight. Like all pet parents, Chris believed Daisy deserved to be lovingly treated and cared for like his own children.
He wondered, “What if there was a safe space just for pets and the people who love them? A one-of-a-kind social network where pet-owning experiences, recommendations, pet-related advice, and meaningful connections are created and shared.”

Our charity partners
Baxta is a proud supporter of the Animal Welfare League (AWL) NSW, a registered charity that has provided expert care to surrendered, neglected, and abandoned companion animals across the state for over 60 years. Along with AWL, Baxta’s not-for-profit arm, Haloconnects people ready to give with registered charities to support everyday Australians.
Value and social impact
At Baxta we recognise a wonderfully inclusive world that accepts pets as sentient beings who experience different emotions like joy, suffering, fear, frustration, or pleasure. As we live in a human-dominated world, our duty as humans is to protect not only our pets but all creatures big and small.

In May 2021, we proudly launched the Baxta fur-ever home kickstart, an ongoing campaign that enables people and businesses to be a force for good to all rescues and rescue owners. To raise awareness for the importance of animal rescue, Baxta rewards new rescue owners with a $100 Visa gift card.
