My 'pet' project, a Tinder-esque experience for rescuing dogs and cats

I have a rescue dog - a 6 year old German Shepherd mix. When we rescued him I couldn't believe how many animals there were at all the shelters and animal control centers, and how hard it was to find out about them. I built a simple site (https://rescueapet.benswork.space) which connects you with available dogs and cats in your area :-) It uses data from local shelters and pulls it all into one place, so you can make a shortlist of animals, then reach out to the shelter to adopt. I was honestly surprised that something like this didn't already exist. Let me know what you think!

    I built an app to manage animal adoption easily (Brazil-only)2024 · petsrescue.com.br · ▲5

    Hello HN, I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare, and after noticing the challenges faced by both adopters and shelters, I decided to create PetsRescue. It’s a web app that simplifies the animal adoption process, making it easier for people to find and adopt pets in need. The goal was to create a platform that’s user-friendly, secure, and accessible to everyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of animals. I’d love to hear your feedback on it. Cheers,
