What it does

It helps people discover local shelters and dogs in need of loving homes. Users can find dogs to adopt or foster, and take a personality quiz that matches them with dogs that fit their lifestyle and preferences. It also includes other features like a community page where dog owners can post about their pet. Built for people who genuinely care about dogs and want to make a positive impact on their lives by adopting, or fostering..

What a real user taught us

I learned that my personality quiz should include questions about a person's living space and lifestyle to help match them with a dog that best fits their needs.

A safety issue we fixed

I decided to pause adding real dogs to my app until I receive permission from shelters to use their photos and information, to avoid potential copyright issues.

What we would build next

I plan to launch this feature as soon as I receive permission from a few shelters around Austin, allowing users to start finding dogs that match their personalities and lifestyles.
