Use your Rescue Dogz NFT to encourage friends to adopt real world rescue dogs.

What are Rescue Dogz NFTs?

Rescue Dogz NFTs are a unique set of rescue dog-inspired digital collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain. This NFT art collection is limited to 10,000 works inspired by real world rescue dogs. They are curated from pieces drawn by hand and combined via a computer algorithm during minting. Owners purchasing these works will be creating unique artwork generated randomly from visual traits to make one-of-a-kind artwork assembled from art history, pop culture elements and the faces of rescue dogs.

Some traits are more rare than others, some are very rare. What dog will you mint?

Upon sellout of the genesis 10k collection, our first pawsitive act is to donate $30,000 USD across (3) three dog rescues giving an immediate impact to our dog life saving efforts in the USA and with a reach internationally. The  giving schedule details the incremental dog rescue donations as we approach sell out.

$30,000 USD in IMMEDIATE IMPACT DONATIONS:
