How many times did you see your dog doing something cute, try to snap a photo really quick, but it ends up looking like this?
How cool would it be to have an app on your phone that uses the same sounds professional pet photographers use to “pose a pet?”
So that’s the really cool part about the new Pose-a-Pet app: You can get your pet to take professional-looking images without having to trek down to a studio, fork over gobs of money, and then hope you get just the right pose.
The Pose-a-Pet app is designed for rescue groups to take better images of animals in need, frame the photo instantly, and even create a virtual flyer. The image can be instantly shared to social media.
Here’s how it looks in action:
But wait, it gets better.
Who’s doing this and why? The makers of this app heard that if just 1 percent of the US population fostered a homeless animal, the shelters would be nearly empty! They want to help to make that dream a reality!
As the co-founder of Wigglebutt Warriors, the fundraising arm of Fidose of Reality, getting homeless animals into their forever loving homes is a shared goal with the Pose-a-Pet app folks. At our next rescue fundraiser taking place April 16, 2016, the Wigglebutt Warriors will select one lucky 501(c)3 to benefit from Wigglebutts Uncorked: Details here.
In the meantime, your favorite rescue will benefit and so will your favorite dog(s).
Here’s the scoop:
- The app is free to download
- There are in app purchases available which your rescue/shelter will benefit from
- The folks at Pose-A-Pet will donate 50% of all of their app upgrade fees to a different Animal Rescue, Shelter or Advocacy group every week! That’s an amazing opportunity for a rescue group!
Have a favorite animal rescue you want to get involved and receive some funds?
It’s easy! Just send them a link to this page and ask them to fill out this short questionnaire, and the Pose-a-Pet folks will get back to them ASAP.
This week, the folks at Pose-a-Pet are giving 50 percent of the upgrades to the app to a 501(c)3 dog rescue group I adore: Abandoned Angels Cocker Rescue group. Thank you so much!
For every upgrade to the app made this week, 50 percent of the profits will go to help Cockers in need, like the cutie above.
Here’s what to do BEFORE SUNDAY, 03/29/15:
1 Download the Pose-a-Pet app for free here.
2 Purchase any of the upgrades available with the app (premium).
3 Cockers in need will get money. You get an amazing app.

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
My dog hates having his picture taken, so I think this is awesome. I need this 🙂
Lindsey Silvestrini says
What a great app! I haven’t heard of this one but would certainly make life easier for many pets!
Brittany @ Clumps of Mascara says
This is a great idea! I don’t know who thinks of these great apps but what genius!
Rachee says
Cute idea. I have a cat who would probably roll her eyes and just run away.
Ellen says
This is a win win for the pet owner and rescue group! I’m always looking for better ways to take pics of my dogs. I’m downloading this one now. Thanks for sharing.
M. K. Clinton says
This is such an amazing tool for every rescue or pet parent!
Terry says
Oh wow!! I would love to get some cute pictures of my Daughters pets. I want to surprise her with a framed picture of them.
Ruth Cox says
Well, if I ever get a smarter phone and educate myself on APPs, this is one that would come in handy for taking photos of my dog for sure.
Susan and the gang from Life with Dogs and Cats says
Sounds like a great pet-related app!

Debbie Denny says
That is pretty neat. Love that they give back.
lisa says
This is a fun app. My dogs sit for about 3 seconds til another dog in the room chases them. Not picture moments!
becca says
This is such an awesome tool for every rescue or pet parent!
Christine Luken says
Wow, I need this app! My cats tolerate me taking pictures of them, but just barely. 😉
Lorane says
There is an App for literally everything these Days! Who knew Prof Pet Photographers use special sounds to get them to pose
Trisha says
This sounds like such an interesting app! I love that they donate a portion of their app upgrade proceeds to a different animal rescues and groups.
Saidah says
I don’t have a pet but I know some people who would really enjoy and want to know about this app.
Mama to 5 BLessings says
I do not have any pets but I think this app is great! Looks like fun to use too!
Ann BAcciaglia says
Oh, how fun is this! I love taking photos of my animals and I had no idea there was an app to help that! I often end up with photos that I just delete!
Lois Alter Mark says
What a great idea! I could have so used this with both of my dogs!
Faith Ellerbe, The Frugal Fur Mom says
This is great! I saw a pin with that border on the photo promoting an adoptable dog but I had no idea it was from an app. Photos make a great difference in the decision of a person wanting to adopt a dog. Thank you to the creator, the hosts and the you for sharing!
AJ @ NutriFitMama says
Haha I need this, what a great idea.
Pawesome Cats says
Sounds like a great app…we’ll have to check it out and see if it works for cats too – they are much more difficult to get to pose for a photo than dogs.
Ashley @irishred02 says
Very cool app, I love apps that give something back especially to all the furry babies out there
Wendy says
What a COOL app! I have 6 animals that I am always trying to get good shots of. AND I’m sharing with my local shelter, too
Kelly Hutchinson says
My first dog was a chocolate cocker, so I have a sweet spot for the breed. What a great app and way to give money!
Michelle & Kitsune says
Now that I finally have a phone that can handle apps, I’m going to have to try this one! Kitsune is a pro in front of a camera, but there are times when he gets a bit distracted and doesn’t want to look my way. I’m going to have to see how the app works with my rabbits too. They usually aren’t nearly as photogenic as my dog is.
Debi says
I have the hardest time getting my dog to sit still and pose for pictures. I have to try this.
Beth | Daily Dog Tag says
I’m even going to use this app with my “big camera” . It is very hard to get Sophie’s attention, but this app works on her! The best part of course is the money they give to rescues!
Dogs N Pawz says
This is an awesome app! Everyone needs to download it!
