I've been talking about making a Doggy Tinder app for a long time. I still have no idea how to make an app, but I figured a forum might be just as good!
Use this forum to post Doggy Personal ads. Think, "15 lbs. poodle seeks small or at least extremely gentle play mate." "Adolescent pit mix seeks dog who doesn't mind getting a little wild." You must create an account to post. Make your own thread and/or comment on other’s.
If you find a match, exchange contact info however you please!
