Don’t have the time or space to foster an animal? Don’t have a fortune to donate? You can still make a difference for rescued dogs. All you need is the Dogly app.
The app is an Instagram-like game where locals post pictures of their pups for a specific shelter. Users can upload up to five photos each day. If photos posted by the shelter and its supporters receive enough “loves” by 11 p.m. on the last day of the month, Dogly will donate $1,000 to the local rescue.
The Capital City shelter Friends of the Animals (FOTA) has created an account. To make accessing the app even easier, FOTA has posted a video on YouTube about how to download Dogly. Check it out below.
This month, FOTA is locked in a battle with Pug Rescue of Austin, Tex. At last count on Monday morning, the count stood with FOTA at 53,473 and Pug Rescue at 50,777.
Vote early and vote often. You can be a hero to your hometown’s homeless hounds without spending a dime or even getting any fur on your furniture.
Among dogs who would benefit from the Dogly donation are:
Creature Feature
Ella is a 4-month-old border collie/schipperke mix. This teddy bear of a pup is available at the FOTA Adoption House or by calling 225-205-9330.
Cinnamon is about a year old Shetland sheepdog/sheltie mix. Weighing in at 22 pounds, this vivacious youngster is still new to foster care. More details about her temperament will be available as they emerge. For updated information, text her foster at 225-726-9700, or stop by the FOTA Adoption House and ask for Cinnamon.
Cooper is a 7-year-old cocker spaniel that weighs about 33 pounds. This guy came into rescue after his owner passed away unexpectedly. He’s great with kids, dogs and cats and has never met a stranger. While Cooper loves to run or go for walks, he is very happy to a snooze on the couch, cuddled next to his owner. Cooper would love to live with a family that is home a lot of the day.
