For example: "Click and Fix" or "City Voice"
Sociable photosharing, and concern for animals, are not unique by any means, but this app cleverly weaves the two threads together into the social media fabric our residents are continuously creating and sharing. Muttbombing has been an inspiration for our app because of its proven success rate and outreach. Muttbombing increased adoptable animal page views by 700% for a dog rescue organization in Dallas. One of our team members takes outstanding pictures with a quick turnaround. A picture is worth a thousand words but it has to be the right picture, one that inspires and excites the viewer into action. That picture can save a sheltered pets life and give it the second chance it deserves.
