Sidebars_aboutproj
My project is designed to educate and promote animal rescue. I wanted to design an app that would raise money for animal welfare, educate and interest dog lovers, and promote the adoption of homeless dogs. The app features breed listings with photos, characteristic information and links to adoptable dogs via the user's zip code. The app would collaborate with the extensive databases of Petfinder.com and link to the website's list of adoptable dogs by zip code and breed. In addition to promoting adoption, the app would also provide a "text to donate" feature where users are provided with a list of charities and are able to donate via text msg.

Sidebars_challenge

I am hoping to promote education and adoption, while bringing funds in for animal rescue foundations. People are going to pet stores to buy dogs when there so many available for adoption and many lives to be saved. The challenge is educating people interested in dogs and promoting the welfare of homeless animals.

 
Sidebars_solution

The solution is an app that serves to educate potential adopters, promote the adoption of homeless dogs and raise money for animal welfare. The app will provide detailed breed information, link out to adoptable dogs and donate all of it's proceeds to shelters while also providing a link for additional donations.
