Doge Pound Roundup: Gaming Community, Doge Swaps, Shelter And More
Weekly roundup and everything happening in Doge Pound world for the week ending 6th August
If you missed our updates from last week, you have come to the right place. Sometimes, it gets hard to keep up with all the updates. It is why we provide you with a dedicated and reliable recap of everything happening in the Doge Pound world.
August is here, and we finished another fun week at Doge Pound. Our community is growing, and we are excited to see everyone having a great time, be it the Sketch n Chill sessions, inter-community events, or our Doge Pound City GTA server.
We are incredibly grateful for your support in helping us build and maintain the Doge Pound Shelter. The dogs need help, and your donations significantly impact their lives. Now let’s sit back, relax, and round up the week!
Doge Pound City — Gaming Community
Our gaming community is growing, and we are one of the fastest-growing servers in the Philippines, with hundreds of new players joining every day. Last week again, our server peaked with 175 players and 51 police officers on duty.
This week, we are having an AMA on August 7th at 10 PM PHT on our Facebook page. Join our Gaming Discord to know more.
We have been regularly running events with exciting prizes. To know more and be part of our growing community, please join Doge Pound City Discord.
Doge Pound Sketch n Chill
We’ve been conducting a fun weekly community event in Discord with one of our lead artists, Pumpkin, who creates real-time artwork during the two hours workshop.
Last week, she created some incredible GIFs live based on requests from the community.
It is a weekly session held every Wednesday at 1 PM ET, so make sure you drop by for the next one. Watching Pumpkin take live requests and draw something from scratch is exciting. Attend our next workshop to learn more.
Doge Swaps for Omega & Alpha Group
A few months ago, we acquired about 450+ OG Doges from one of our biggest holders in an OTC deal. We had planned to utilize them for the following:
- Giveaways.
- Brand deals to incentivize using our IP.
- Investment deals if it helps us broker a good deal with our partners wanting a little skin in the game.
- Selling some of the rares to loyal holders.
During our 2nd anniversary celebrations and several other occasions, we have given away many OG Doges and Puppies NFTs to our community members.
To continue incentivizing our loyal holders, we have set up a process to allow Omega & Alpha holders to swap their Doges with another one of their choice from our team wallet.
Last week, we accepted many trade requests and it’s exciting to see our community members enjoying this new feature.
We are accepting requests on a first-come, first-served basis, and the exact rules are available in our private “omega-alpha-chat” channel in Discord. Please read the latest pinned message for more details.
All holders with five or more OG Doges qualify to be in the Omega-Alpha group.
Doge Pound Shelter — Support Needed
Working for animal welfare, especially dogs, is one of our missions, and we are proactively working on it. The construction and operation of the Doge Pound Shelter in Tanzania have been our most rewarding accomplishments.
In the last few months, we have rescued several dogs and puppies, and our shelter is gradually running out of space. There are ongoing costs such as employment, essential items such as vehicles, running costs (electricity, water, maintenance, etc.), dog food, vaccinations, and medicines.
The shelter not only rescues dogs but also provides a safe place for orphaned children from the nearby children’s village managed by Share Tanzania. Studies suggest that pets can have a positive impact on a child’s mental health and development.
From time to time, these children arrive at these dog shelters to play with dogs and find love & care that is missing from their lives.
We need your help to continue supporting the shelter and hopefully expand it. If you wish to donate, you can do so via fiat or crypto on our donation page.
We also have sponsorship packages for communities and businesses interested in supporting the shelter. You can find more details about the available sponsorship options and what you get as a sponsor in our blog.
No amount is big or small — every act of kindness matters.
Final Thoughts
We are grateful for your support through the ups and downs of this memorable journey so far. We are expanding our IP to reach a diverse community of dog lovers. Through continuous innovation, we’ll create unique and scalable products (AI tools, apps, toys, animations, etc.) for a wider audience.
Our commitment to expanding our shelter and helping as many dogs as possible remains unwavering. Stay tuned for more as we leverage cutting-edge AI technology to execute our vision of becoming the leading Web3 dog brand.
