Inspiration
Even though there are lots of people who are interested in donating for or adopting pets, there is no easy way to identify reliable suppliers, especially for rescued stray animals. We recognise the fact that it's not possible for every pet lover to adopt a pet and hence we allow people to pay for their care.
What it does
The app allows people who are interested in adopting pets get in touch with NGOs that put up pets for adoption. They can sign up for the app, login and choose the pet they want to adopt, look into details listed by the NGO, and choose the one that suits their needs the best. If they live in a place where bringing up pets is difficult or prohibited, they can also donate for the pet's upbringing which will be taken care of by the NGO in question.
How we built it
The app was built by four people over the course of the weekend, with a Flutter frontend and a NodeJS backend supporting the same.
Challenges we ran into
Figuring out a realistic working model for the concept keeping in mind the conditions in our country. We tried implementing the database using CockerachDB but encountered issues.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We've built an app with a backend and multiple screen over the matter of under a couple days.
What we learned
Cockroach DB basics, extensive flutter UI features
What's next for Furry Friends
We could add a section to the app where stray animals in neighbourhoods can be identified and tagged in the app with a picture by members of the general public. Organisations can then collect them, disinfect, vaccinate and groom them and put them up for adoption.
