This platform allows registered non-profit organizations worldwide to apply for funding, reflecting $DOGS’ commitment to redirect a significant portion of unclaimed airdrop tokens toward charitable initiatives. Over the course of the year, more than 6 billion $DOGS (equivalent to $4.5 million at the current rate) will be distributed to selected organizations, following a thorough approval process. This initiative highlights $DOGS’ dedication to supporting organizations that align with its mission to create positive social impact.
As part of this effort, the creators of the $DOGS meme coin have announced a $150,000 partnership and donation to shelters in collaboration with Best Friends Animal Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting millions of homeless animals across the U.S. Through this year-long partnership, $DOGS will support Best Friends’ “No-Kill Pledge” by funding one month of care for adopted dogs. The initiative also aims to inspire the crypto community and raise awareness about how they can contribute to this cause.
At $DOGS, we believe every stray deserves a chance at life,» says Andrew, Founder of $DOGS. “Our partnership with Best Friends Animal Society is a call to action for the crypto community to help achieve a future where every shelter reaches the 90% no-kill benchmark by 2025. Our mission is to ensure every shelter dog finds a loving home. Together, we’re showing how blockchain innovation and compassion can unite to transform lives—not only for animals but for the families who embrace them.”
“We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with the $DOGS Community, a network that is dedicated to making brighter futures a reality for adoptable pets across the nation”, commented Best Friends Animal Society. “This partnership marks an exciting step forward in aligning with forward-thinking communities and leveraging new platforms to save lives. Together, we can Save Them All”.
This collaboration is a critical step in ensuring every shelter has the resources to save every animal who can be saved. Over the next year, $DOGS will provide financial support to shelters and leverage its crypto audience to inspire action for animal welfare.
In 2023, U.S. shelters saved 3.97 million of the 4.76 million cats and dogs entering their doors—a save rate of approximately 83%. The no-kill philosophy prioritizes saving all animals who can be rehabilitated or rehomed, with no more than 10% unable to be saved due to severe medical or behavioral issues. Best Friends’ goal is to ensure every shelter achieves at least a 90% save rate by 2025.
The $DOGS beloved mascot, will take on the role of ambassador for ‘Best Friends’ Animal Society, appearing in events and marketing materials over the next year. Originally conceived by Telegram founder Pavel Durov as part of a charity auction, Spotty has since become an icon in the crypto world, representing a blend of philanthropy, meme culture, and blockchain technology.
Since its inception, the $DOGS community has been committed to meaningful charitable contributions, raising over $450,000 for causes such as Save the Orphans, Save the Children, Animal Charity Evaluators, and cancer research. With this new partnership, $DOGS takes another step toward building a legacy of impactful giving.
