Why this mark exists
46 Dogs is the part of this ecosystem with no business model and no intention of acquiring one. It exists to feed and care for stray dogs, and it will be funded by people who choose to give. That makes its name and its mark more sensitive than any commercial brand I hold, not less.
A charity brand attracts imitation in a way a software brand does not. Someone collecting donations under this logo, with no connection to the work, would do damage that is very hard to undo — to the dogs, and to everyone who gave in good faith. Registering the artwork is the cheapest protection available against that.
It is filed as a device mark and separately as a word mark. The device mark protects this specific artwork; the word mark protects the name in any styling. Filing only one leaves the obvious gap: the same name with a different logo, or the same logo with a different name.

An international system for classifying the visual elements of figurative marks — animals, shapes, letters and so on. The registry assigns these codes so a device mark can be searched against existing artwork rather than only against text.
Because donation fraud under a familiar logo is straightforward and devastating. Registering the mark is what makes it possible to stop someone collecting money in the name of this work without any connection to it.
Class 36 covers charitable fundraising and the handling of donations. Class 44 covers veterinary and animal health services. Class 45 covers animal rescue, shelter, fostering and adoption services.
