Dating Apps have grown increasingly popular over the years, and with them has grown an influx of themed versions. No longer are there apps of just a photo with a mini bio. You can now search apps for people based on religious views, music preferences, and even your shared hatred of things! That said, we think the best “dating app” out there isn’t for finding your soulmate, but rather for your best furry friend. “How I Met My Dog” is the app to find your perfect– you guessed it- loving rescue pooch!
How The App Works
The app “How I Met My Dog” works like several dating apps by having you create a profile first through a detailed questionnaire. The questions ask about your living situation, as well as how you imagine yourself as a pet owner. It also asks your preferences, such as size and gender of the dog. After filling out the survey, the app matches you with different dogs in your area that fulfill your needs. You’ll wish you could “swipe right” and “match” with them all!
Rescue Dogs Only
The best part about this dog-finding service, is that all the dogs available to adopt are rescue! These adorable pooches are a range of ages and simply hoping for their forever home. If you are thinking about getting a rescue dog, but don’t feel ready yet to make the commitment, you can still create a profile. There is no obligation for signing up to adopt on the spot, and you can even create a search if you are “just looking.”
Perfectly Paired
Regardless, the ultimate goal of this website is to find the perfect pairing. While dating apps are known to have their serious flaws (catfish, anyone?), “How I Met Your Dog” is an honest site that provides photos and a background of each of the dogs listed in your matches. Who needs a partner when you can find your new furry best friend instead!
