What is Pet Life?

Pet Life is a platform that connects potential pet owners to their local shelter. The website simplifies the adoption process through an online pet quiz that matches users to a compatible pet based on lifestyle.

Problems

As people have been working from home as a result of the pandemic, there has been an exponential increase in pet adoption. This in turn has created a need to help potential pet adopters in finding an appropriate pet. Below are a few key issues that Pet Life is meant to address:
  • A length and confusing pet adoption process can be discouraging and painful.
  • Finding the right pet with a compatible lifestyle and personality can be challenging.
  • Incompatible adopted pets often get returned and rehomed.
  • For pets, a lengthy stay in the shelter can compromise their health and well-being.
