Imagine a world with no homeless pets: with every cat and dog in a loving house. This is the world that pet rescuers are trying to bring about, but the reality is, it’s easier said than done. They can’t achieve this goal as quickly as they want to because they don’t have the resources that pet rescuing, which can be very financially draining, requires.

Micro-currencies can help make resources available to pet rescuers by giving them the ability to transfer and trade loyalty points, a form of micro-currency. Loyalty points from other shops that are dormant and not being used by the pet rescuer can be traded for pet grooming services, pet supplies and even for medical attention from vets for the rescued animals.

This would make it easier and much more affordable to help pets in need. Another option is transferring spare loyalty points to people who adopt pets, as an additional reward for their good deed.

Rescue centers or pet pounds can also transfer loyalty points to people who bring animals to them, as a thank you for their act of kindness.

Another option is using loyalty points as a reward for lost pets, for those who don’t have the money to up a cash reward, but love their pet and want them found. With the ability to transfer and trade loyalty points, it allows people to proceed with numerous actions without being limited by the amount of money in their possession.
