Doggy style

BarkBuddy

Though it's billed as a way to “find fluffy singles in your area,” there's no need to worry: This is a family-friendly app. In fact, it's a really cool little tool used to help streamline the pet-adoption process. The app, which is free, easy to navigate and available for the iPhone and iPad, allows users to search through local profiles of adoptable dogs. The more you use the app, the more it tailors its search results to help find exactly the right fit. Once you've located a dog you want to adopt, it's as simple as a tap on your iPhone's screen to set up a “meet and greet.” If all goes well, you'll be cleaning up dog poop in no time. www.barkbuddy.com.
