Want a new furry friend but are overwhelmed by the selection process? Doggydopt uses your zipcode to be show dogs in your area! You can filter by dog characteristics like size, energy, or shedding to see breeds that may interest you, then further narrow down your search by age, gender, and other traits like whether a dog is house-trained or has shots!
Click once to be put in contact with the shelter, or if you're not sure, you can save the dog to your faves. Don't worry about losing your dogs between sessions, because they'll be safely nestled in your personal user account. The My Dogs page will show you all the dogs you've saved. It's perfect for deciding between a few dogs, or even just checking in to see how dogs are doing.
Just want to see dogs in person? The Find a Shelter feature lets you search by zip code to find nearby shelters to visit.
