AdWeek: Spotify Gets Into Pet Adoption After Learning Dogs Have Their Own Musical Tastes

Spotify users in Munich will now be able to adopt dogs based on their unique music preferences. According to a recent article in Adweek, the streaming service has launched a new program called Adoptify which features each dog's music taste in its adoption profile.
