FEATURES • REAL DOG VERIFICATION — AI dog detection runs entirely on-device. No screenshot cheating, no gallery imports: live camera only. • CATCH MINI-GAME — Throw at the perfect moment as the ring shrinks to green.

Visit the Region Shelter to see every catch in your neighborhood and become its top catcher. • THE SHELTER — Every dog you catch comes to live in your isometric shelter: feed them when they're hungry, walk them for XP, buy houses and toys in the Pet Shop, name your shelter and level it up. Your dogs will call you back with notifications! • PAW ARENA — Build your 5-dog squad and battle friends and fellow explorers in 3-lane duels driven by power, cost and abilities. • LEADERBOARDS — Climb global, country, city and friends rankings.
