DOGS, a popular memecoin on Telegram, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Best Friends Animal Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping millions of homeless pets across the United States.
This partnership aligns with the charitable mission of the cryptocurrency platform with Best Friends' 'No Kill by 2025' pledge, ensuring that every adoptable pet finds a loving home.
DOGS Memecoin partners with Best Friends: A new hope for homeless stray dogs?
In a joint announcement, DOGS has committed to supporting Best Friends' 'No Kill by 2025' pledge, aimed at achieving a 90% rescue rate for animals entering shelters across the United States.
In the coming year, DOGS will financially support shelters to help them achieve their no-kill goals and ensure the safety of animals nationwide.
As of 2023, animal rescue centers in the United States have achieved an 83% rescue rate, saving 3.97 million of the 4.76 million cats and dogs being cared for in these centers.
DOGS' contribution is expected to significantly support the effort to achieve the 90% goal by 2025.
DOGS will also sponsor a month of care for dogs adopted through the program, encouraging community involvement and raising awareness about how to help animal shelters.
Additionally, DOGS plans to launch a platform where nonprofits around the world can apply for funding, expanding its charitable outreach.
The partnership includes a $150,000 donation from the DOGS community to Best Friends Animal Society.
This contribution will help find homes for animals like Rusty, a long-time resident at the organization's sanctuary in Kanab, Utah.
Best Friends has expressed its excitement on social media, emphasizing that this collaboration marks a significant milestone in utilizing innovative platforms like DOGS to advance the mission of 'Saving Them All.'
Andrew, the founder of DOGS, describes this partnership as a 'call to action' for the cryptocurrency community to support animal welfare.
"Together, we demonstrate that blockchain innovation and compassion can combine to change lives, not just for animals but also for the families that foster them."
The newly launched $DOGS platform opens up global funding sources for nonprofits committed to animal rescue.
The no-kill principle prioritizes rehabilitation and finding new homes for animals, with only a small percentage – those with unresolvable behavioral or physical issues – considered irredeemable.
Since its inception, the DOGS community has donated over $450,000 to various causes, including cancer research, Save the Children, and Animal Charity Evaluators.
This new partnership builds on a legacy of using blockchain and meme culture to drive impactful charitable activities.
As part of this partnership, DOGS' mascot, Spotty, will become the official ambassador for Best Friends Animal Society.
The black-and-white spotted dog, originally created by Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram and VK, at a charity auction, will appear at events and promotional materials over the next year.
As part of this collaboration, DOGS has announced the development of a website where nonprofits around the world can apply for funding. Details about eligibility requirements and the application process will be shared soon.
