Why shits.dog?

A civic map of NYC dog-waste hotspots. Anyone can anonymously flag an un-scooped mess so neighborhoods can push for more bins, signage, and Sanitation attention — places and patterns, not people.

• People are removed. Each photo is cropped to just the dog — no faces, no names.
• No personal data. We store only a coarse location, a timestamp, and the cropped photo.
• Hotspots, not harassment. Reports aggregate into a heatmap for advocacy.
