An animal shelter in Indiana is seeking avid Pokémon Go players to help walk adoptable dogs while they play the popular smartphone game.
The Muncie Animal Shelter on Tuesday appealed to gamers on its Facebook page, asking those who are on the hunt for rare Pokémon to step forward and help real-life animals get exercise as they pursue the game’s fictional creatures.
