Description/Abstract:: 85% of dogs in the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) shelters are pit bulls or a pit bull mix and at any given time, all dog cages are filled with 2-3 dogs per cage. 100-150 animals, including cats and exotic pets, are adopted from these shelters weekly. We chose to do this project because one of us is a regular volunteer for the shelters as a dog walker. He sees many animals that don’t deserve to be locked up in cages and wanted to help adoptees find the perfect animal for them. The SPCA Mobile App, built with React Native and Java as its core technologies, is the solution to this problem. This app lists all adoptable pets from the convenience of a smart phone along with animal care information. The Find-A-Friend Score will assist in matching adoptees with an adoptable pet using an algorithm based on key animal traits. Animal Socialization Calendar and a dog distraction system will give volunteers at the shelters an easier time taking care of the animals. This app’s goal is to empty out all the cages and ensure that no animal is deprived of a loving home.
