Real dogs. Real streets. A real collection. Spot a street dog? Open the camera and snap — DogCatch verifies it's a real dog right on your device. Win the timed treat-throw mini-game and the dog is yours: it becomes a sticker card with a witty auto-generated name, a rarity tier and battle stats. 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. Miss, and the dog might bolt! • STICKER COLLECTION — Every dog becomes a die-cut sticker card: 6 rarities from Common to Mythic, star-quality rare finds, witty auto-names (DrPancake, Mjölnir, Peanut...). • BONUS ZONES — Catch within range of map zones for 2x XP and boosted rarity odds. 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. Collect achievements, keep your daily streak alive. • SAME-DOG RECOGNITION — If another explorer caught the same dog, DogCatch notices: "3 people have caught this dog!" • SEASON TRACK — A 50-tier reward track every season. Unlock the premium track with DogCatch Pro: 2x rewards, 10 daily treats, exclusive card frames. DOG WELFARE COMES FIRST We never ask you to touch, feed or approach dogs — photos only. Owner-permission rules apply for leashed and owned dogs. Your location is stored only as an approximate region; exact coordinates are never shared. Your raw photos are visible only to you. Get out there. Frame it. Catch 'em all. Terms of Use (EULA): https://umutcanbostancii.github.io/dogcatch-legal/terms Privacy Policy: https://umutcanbostancii.github.io/dogcatch-legal/privacy
