Users will find a range of places to enjoy with their pooches, from parks, to hotels to restaurants, and most importantly, all users can, with just the tap of a finger, feed a hungry dog in need.

Slobbr supports a new beneficiary each month; during the month of September, it will donate Kibble to Last Hope K9, an all-breed rescue dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and/or abused dogs from high-kill shelters throughout the U.S. Slobbr is available for free download on iTunes; follow @slobbr on Instagram for current updates and adorable dog photos.
