I built a tinder-like app to help small rescue shelters get their animals adopted
We have a rescue dog - a 6 year old German Shepherd mix - and couldn't believe how many animals there were at all the shelters and animal control centers in our city when we adopted him. Hundreds of cats and dogs that you would never be able to find out about and who deserve loving homes.
So 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.
It shows over 23,000 animals from over 1,000 shelters. Right now it gets a couple thousand views each week, and it has already helped people find and adopt new pets!
If you're thinking about adopting (or know someone who is), check it out, and in general would love to hear what you think.
