'Tindog,' the Tinder for Dog Lovers is Here

If you’ve ever looked into the loving eyes of your dog-son and thought, “If only there was some sort of dating app for dogs where I could find a match for Mister Scruffballs,” well, your wish has been granted. Tindog, a new app that connects dog lovers together based on location, has launched this week. Like Tinder, the app’s interface will suggest nearby matches, allowing users to swipe left for rejects and swipe right for the dog hotties. I’d probably feel bad swiping left on any pups, but I used to say if there was some sort of dating app for French Bulldog owners to connect, I’d be all up on it, so this sounds like the next best thing.

When both users choose each other, a match is formed and they can chat and arrange a pet play-date. “Dogs bring so much joy and love, that they really have the power to connect us. That’s why we wanted to make it easy for dog lovers to meet new people around them who feel the same way,” founder & CEO Julien Muller said in a press release. “Whether it’s building new friendships or even making a love connection, Tindog is a great way to expand your social circle with others who love man’s best friend just as much as you do.”

If dating sites for sea captains, beard lovers and paranormal geeks are a reality, it was only a matter of time for the niche dating world to get your furry friend in on the action. This is sure to make days at the dog park more interesting.
