BACKGROUND

Pet adoption is an emotionally driven yet high-stakes decision-making process
While many online platforms connect adopters with animals, they often lack intelligent tools to guide suitable matches. Adopters are left to rely on fragmented information, while shelters face inefficiencies in managing applications and assessing adopter suitability.
Need to create a intelligent experience to build trust and leads to long-term ownership
With growing interest in responsible, long-term pet ownership, there is a clear need for solutions that support smarter, more confident adoption decisions — for both people and animals.

DEFINING USERS

Inefficiency Pets Exploration
Adopters seek rich, detailed information to make informed decisions, but most platforms provide only simple descriptions and low-quality visuals, making it hard to truly understand each pet.

Shelter

Pet-Adopter Mismatch
Current platforms make it difficult for users to anticipate a pet’s behaviour and personality based on limited profiles and surface-level first impressions. This often leads to misaligned expectations and unsuccessful adoptions.
