Best of luck! We hope that you have a positive experience and that we’ve been able to help make an important connection that will help a pet in need.

About this Dog

He is a loyal dog and friendly to most people upon meeting. Outside of home he tends to be very timid. I tried obedience classes, but he was too nervous and freaked out by the slick floor that it was pointless at the facility. He picked up commands quickly; he is very smart. I have 3 small children, 4 cats, and 4 dogs, and I'm not able to give him the attention he craves or deserves. He loves affection and would be a good companion for someone with the time to work with him. He needs to learn manners. He's come a long way in the 2 years I've had him! The poor thing was in a shelter for the first 2.5yrs of life (where he was somewhat neglected) and did not acquire those social skills. But he loves to play with other dogs and is generally good with them. He just doesn't like to have to vie for affection. I've been working on his not scoping out the counters for food; it's as if he doesn't trust I will provide him with enough food, likely a result of the shelter. Negative reinforcing is counterproductive with him, so I've had difficulty with this. But he responds amazing for treats and love. It breaks my heart I cannot devote to him the time he needs, but I hope I can find him a home so that I know he's happy and loved. I've helped save him from a neglectful situation, and for that I am happy. PLEASE! Someone give him what I cannot. I love him.

Adopt Zoinks and Receive Dogecoin

Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Zoinks's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).

How will Zoinks receive the Dogecoin?


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Zoinks, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Zoinks's Dogecoin here.


For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Zoinks was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Zoinks’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.




What is Dogecoin?


"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.




What happens to unclaimed funds?


We want the Zoinks’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Zoinks’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
