As part of this initiative, the creators of the $DOGS meme coin announced today a partnership and donation of  $150,000 to Best Friends Animal Society, a non-profit dedicated to helping millions of homeless animals across the US. Through this collaboration, $DOGS supports Best Friends’ “No-Kill Pledge” and efforts to promote shelter adoptions.

Key takeaways

• Through this partnership, $DOGS donates $150,000 and supports the “No-Kill by 2025 Pledge,” aiming shelters achieve no-kill in 2025. 
• $DOGS will fund one month of care for adopted dogs, encouraging the crypto community and spreading the word how they can help.
• $DOGS launches a platform for nonprofit organizations to apply for funding.

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.

“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”, shared  Best Friends Animal Society on their official social media channels. “As part of this collaboration, the $DOGS Community has generously donated $150,000 to help pets like Rusty – who has been patiently waiting at our sanctuary in Kanab, Utah – find their way to loving families. 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”.

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.

“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.”

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.

To further extend its charitable efforts, $DOGS launches a platform enabling nonprofits worldwide to apply for funding. Details on eligibility and application procedures will be shared soon, underscoring $DOGS’ dedication to empowering organizations that align with its mission.
