Writing about the fluffiest, cuddliest, most
slobbery kind of people (sometimes referred to as “dogs”) has its perks. I get
to be one of the first to hear about new doggy organizations, products and
services, and it’s my duty to share the best of them with you on The
Boston Dog Blog.
R-U-MyLitter (www.rumylitter.com) is a new website that allows you to track down your pup’s family members.

The process is simple: register your canine
companion by following a few easy steps. Click “Instant Match” on the main page, and enter your name and
email address, as well as your dog’s name, breed, gender, date of birth,
breeder/kennel name and breeder/kennel city (the creators are currently working
on a shelter dog option as well, which is set to launch later this summer).
You’ll be notified as soon as the match is made, and receive the email
address(es) of your dog’s sibling’s forever parents (drooly play date at the
dog park, anyone?) The site also has puppy-pleasing details such as posting
space for those with lost or found doggies, as well as a place to post in
loving memory of canine family members who have recently passed.
The service is completely free, and the creators have reached out to Massachusetts mongrels in the past. When a Boston area rescue organization hosted an adoption event a few months back, R-U-MyLitter donated supplies (all the way from Canada!) That’s not their only special interest in the Bean; they watched every nail-biting moment of the Bruins-Maple Leafs series – with their dogs, of course.
