Doginal Adoption Shelter · Dogecoin
Free Doge Ring Earth
A pound for Dogecoin ordinals. Drop off the ones you're done with. Adopt one for nothing but the cost of the ride home — 1 DOGE — the network fee to move it, plus a small margin that keeps the lights on.

What this is
FDRE is a pound for Doginals. People end up holding Dogecoin inscriptions and DRC-20 tokens they no longer want — a mint that didn't go anywhere, a giveaway they forgot about, dust in a wallet they're closing. Selling them isn't worth the trouble. Burning them feels wrong. So they sit in a wallet nobody opens, which is the crypto equivalent of a dog in a garage.
Bring it here instead. Send the inscription to the shelter address at the top of this page and it walks in the front door, gets a photo on the wall, and waits for somebody who wants it. Somebody always wants it.
Adopting costs the ride home: the Dogecoin network fee to move the asset into your wallet, plus half again, floored at 1 DOGE. Most of that DOGE goes straight back out again — the miners take their cut, and the rest pre-pays the network fee for the next adoption. What's left over is the shelter's margin, and it is deliberately tiny. A shelter that covers its own costs doesn't have to ask anyone for anything.
How adoption works
- Pick a resident. Click any face in the yard above. Newest arrival is always first — drop something off and it's at the top of the page within a minute.
- Paste your Dogecoin address. The one you actually hold the keys to. FDRE never asks for a seed phrase, a private key, a wallet connection, an email or a signature. There is nothing to connect and nothing to sign.
- Click Adopt. You get a fresh one-time deposit address and an exact amount, held for ten minutes.
- Send the DOGE. The moment the payment shows up on the chain — not when it confirms, when it appears — the shelter signs the transfer and sends your new pet home.
Miss the ten minutes and nothing bad happens. The hold lapses, the resident goes back on the floor in exactly the spot it was standing in, and anyone (including you) can try again. A lapsed claim never costs a resident its place in line.
Dropping one off
Send any Doginal inscription or DRC-20 transfer inscription to the shelter address. That's the entire procedure. There's no form, no approval, no whitelist and no fee — you pay your own network fee to send it, and the shelter takes it from there.
Within about a minute the intake sweep spots it on-chain and it becomes the newest resident. You keep nothing and you owe nothing. If you change your mind before someone adopts it, well — you don't hold the keys any more. Send things you're genuinely done with.
Questions
The ones people actually ask.
Is it really free?
The Doginal is free. You pay a flat 1 DOGE, which covers the Dogecoin network fee to move it into your wallet — about a tenth of that — plus a small margin for the shelter. Part of the rest pre-pays the next person's transfer. There is no commission on what the asset might be worth, no listing fee, and no other charge.
Do I need to connect a wallet?
No. There is nothing to connect. You paste the Dogecoin address you want the asset delivered to, and you send DOGE to a one-time deposit address. FDRE never asks for a seed phrase, a private key, a signature or an email, and there is no account to create.
What can I drop off?
Any Doginal inscription or any unspent DRC-20 transfer inscription. Send it to the shelter address shown at the top of the page. It appears as the newest resident within about a minute. There is no approval and no fee.
What happens if I don't pay within ten minutes?
Nothing bad. The hold lapses and the resident goes back on the floor in exactly the position it was in before — the queue is sorted by arrival time, which a claim never changes. You or anyone else can claim it again immediately.
Can two people adopt the same one?
No. A claim reserves the resident under a lock, so only one claim can hold it at a time, and each claim gets its own single-use deposit address so payments are never ambiguous.
Do you hold my keys?
Never. The only keys FDRE holds are its own: the shelter wallet that custodies donated assets until they're adopted, and the single-use deposit wallets that receive adoption fees. Both live in an encrypted vault. Your wallet is yours and FDRE never sees it.
How do I know the transfer is real?
Every adoption ends in an ordinary Dogecoin transaction you can look up yourself. The transfer is decoded and checked by a full node before it is broadcast: the first output must pay your address, and must carry the asset's exact value. If it doesn't, nothing is sent.
Why would anyone give away an NFT?
Because it costs them nothing and it's better than the alternative. Most of what arrives here is genuinely unwanted — abandoned mints, forgotten giveaways, dust in a wallet somebody is closing. Rehoming it is less work than listing it, and considerably less sad than letting it rot.
Is there a token? Is there a roadmap?
No, and no. There is nothing to buy, nothing to stake, nothing to farm and nothing to pre-sale. It's a pound.
Can I run my own shelter?
Yes. The technicals page is a complete specification and the reference implementation is MIT licensed. The five things you must get right are listed under Open source.
