Adopt-A-Pet

Approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 4.1 million are adopted. That leaves 2.2 million yearly that are left languishing in cages or euthanized.

Despite the numbers of animals needing homes, many people that are willing to adopt, report feelings of frustration and fail to adopt when interacting with shelters and rescues. Shelters are so busy caring for the animals and/or operating on low (or mismanaged) funds that public facing procedures are sorely neglected. Money, time and strategy is needed to advertise, interface with and screen the public.

*These estimates are based in part on Shelter Animals Count.

Let's create an app to make adopting a pet from a shelter easier. The goal is to improve the lives of both humans and animals.
