Project Overview
This project involved building a mobile platform that helps people in Germany discover pets available for adoption from nearby shelters. The app was designed to make the adoption process simple, engaging, and accessible through a swipe-based browsing experience.
Users can explore adoptable animals, apply preference-based filters, save favorites, and contact shelters directly—creating a seamless connection between adopters and shelters.
Problem Statement
Pet adoption often involves fragmented information and manual processes that slow down decision-making. Key challenges included:
- Difficulty finding adoptable pets from nearby shelters
- Limited digital visibility for shelter animals
- Complex and time-consuming adoption enquiries
- Lack of engaging discovery experiences for users
- Low accessibility for mobile-first users
These challenges reduced adoption efficiency and user engagement.
Problem Solution
A centralized mobile app was developed to streamline the pet adoption journey. By introducing swipe-based discovery, smart filters, and direct shelter communication, the platform removes unnecessary friction from the adoption process.
The solution enables users to find suitable pets faster while giving shelters a simple way to showcase animals to nearby adopters.
