Do you think they are aware of what pokemon is? Find a animal, train the animal, then fight animal against other animals… lets promote that at a shelter???
Oh no, this shelter was so effective that it killed its business... Thankfully we live under capitalism, so it won't be long before someone starts a dog renting business where no adoption is possible and the dogs are treated like complete shit... Y'know, so the business won't fail again! Think of the jeeeeerbs!!
Meanwhile, PETA shelters pick up dogs from other shelters promising to home animals that are problematic to adopt, and instead just kill them and illegally dump the bodies in a dumpster somewhere.
Now that's a nice, more commonplace everyday sort of situation as an example of the term "Master Stroke". Not only did you solve one problem, you solved several at once, at no cost, while doing everything you do even better than before, and everyone involved is happier for the change. Amazing.
When pokemon go came out I contacted a local shelter asking if I could walk dogs while I played, and they turned me down with a pretty snotty tone about it :/
I'm not a detective or anything like that, but there is a noticeable absence of dogs and a large assortment of women in cages, leading me to suspect that this is not a dog rental facility but a russian cage-brothel.
This comment is prime example of that Goldie locks spot between pervert and funny. I laughed a little, I sighed a little, cried a little, i peed a little. It was a good day.
Honestly go to church and participate. I’ve never been active in churches before, but S.O. Just started and when I go with her I am flabbergasted by the amount of single women
You absolutely should. It's a fantastic way to meet other people without having a conscious agenda beforehand. I myself tend to vibe with animals easier than people anyway so I see it as a win-win
I thought about this program at Greenland in Seattle. Take shelter dogs on walks with a vest that says adopt me. Easy way to start conversations, gets the pups out and promotes adoption... (of the dog, not the guy but hey you do you)
You're not wrong. The best advice I can conjure here is that you should try to find stuff you want to do and meet people there. If you're lucky, the right single lady is among them. I stayed single as long as I explicitly tried to meet women. Only when I said "fuck it, let's see what happens", that changed.
my friend in college had the right idea. When he took his dog on a walk, he would stop by the campus pub and tie her up outside so he can go in and get a pint. He then goes back out to see what he "caught".
I formerly worked multiple roles in veterinary medicine or animal care. Nearly every one of my colleagues was a woman, especially if you don't count the 50+ year old doctors. If you need help meeting women and/or learning how to speak with women, animal care is a decent place to start. Pro tip - befriend the strong lesbian and practice talking to her. She'll probably also know who's single, looking, unavailable, and does/doesn't prefer men/women.
*the* strong lesbian? At an animal welfare shelter you cannot narrow it down to *the* lesbian. Because there are lots of lesbians working at animal shelters. If you're also a lesbian, animal shelters are a great place to meet women.

Hopefully those dogs went to a good home and did not need to go back to the shelter.

If you have your location setting on, the phone is already logging all your tracking data.

I am also available for rent. I'll talk to you while you ignore me and play pokemon go. You get 3 high fives per session for rare captures.

Most of those are good, but "2" is bad. Adoption fees are a barrier to shitty people doing shitty things to animals.

Yes. It’s making the rounds again. I just posted a snopes article about it.

This is from 2016 when pokemon go was new, the world was such a better place for that short period of time I miss it

Lol I do not miss 2016. Better than the pandemic, but those were rough years

what a brief, glorious time pokemon go was. if only every year could have a period so incandescent.

I picked it back up awhile back. Still a fun game.

As a single guy who has trouble meeting women, my takeaway is that maybe I need to volunteer at the local animal shelter....

Getting out of the house and doing volunteer work you care about is one of the best ways of meeting people who share your interests and values.

I've volunteered in animal shelters before. It was good for a lot of reasons. You should do it.

I stayed single as long as I explicitly tried to meet women. Only when I said "fuck it, let's see what happens", that changed.
It seems obvious in retrospect.
BurnieCinders
Nah, crazy people volunteer, get into power then make things uncomfortable for people they don't like.
ChewyTheWookie
did that and yes, got dates, and yes got a dog, and became a dog uncle too (sponsored one til it found a home)

As long as your main motivation is to help the animals. It can work out.

You won't regret any of it.

If you notice further back, there are definitely dudes there, they just don't get put up front for the photos.

and maybe more of them. I'm counting 6 "probably men" and another 2 that could go either way.

my friend in college had the right idea. When he took his dog on a walk, he would stop by the campus pub and tie her up outside so he can go in and get a pint. He then goes back out to see what he "caught".
