$DOGS memecoin, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry, has announced a significant partnership with Best Friends Animal Society, a nonprofit organization that has been a lifeline for millions of homeless pets across the United States.
This collaboration underscores $DOGS’ commitment to the “No-Kill by 2025 Pledge”, a campaign aimed at ensuring no shelter animals are unnecessarily euthanized by 2025. As part of this initiative, $DOGS has committed to funding one month of care for each adopted dog, thereby sending a powerful message to the wider cryptocurrency community about the importance of animal welfare.
Furthermore, $DOGS intends to expand its philanthropic efforts by launching a platform that allows nonprofit organizations to apply for funding. This move is a critical component in ensuring that every animal shelter has the necessary resources to save every animal that can be saved. Over the next year, $DOGS will provide financial support to shelters and employ its substantial crypto audience to inspire action for animal welfare.
Best Friends Animal Society expressed their excitement about the collaboration via their official social media channels. They said, “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”. They further explained that the $DOGS Community has generously donated $150,000 to help pets like Rusty, a resident at their sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, find their forever homes.
Addressing the No-Kill Movement, the data from 2023 indicates that U.S. shelters saved approximately 83% of the 4.76 million cats and dogs that entered. The no-kill philosophy aims to save all animals that can be rehabilitated or rehomed, with no more than 10% being unable to be saved due to severe medical or behavioral issues. Best Friends aims to ensure every shelter reaches at least a 90% save rate by 2025.
$DOGS’ mascot, Spotty, will act as an ambassador for Best Friends Animal Society, making appearances in events and marketing materials over the next year. Since the $DOGS community was established, it 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.
In an effort to extend its charitable reach, $DOGS is set to launch a platform that allows nonprofits worldwide to apply for funding. Details about eligibility and the application process will be shared soon, highlighting $DOGS’ dedication to supporting organizations that align with their mission.
Andrew, the Founder of $DOGS, stated, “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.”
