Why we created LovePet

The issue we are working to address is the overpopulation of homeless animals in shelters. One of the root causes is pet owners are not prepared for the responsibility of having a pet, or not aware of the resources available that could help them, so they give them to the shelters.

To address this, we have created an app called LovePet to help educate and support future pet owners. By creating that educates pet owners that connects them with local resources, we will prevent overpopulation of homeless animals by ensuring we give our animals a permanent home and proper care for their entire life. Our app will provide features such as schedules for local pet ownership classes, notifications to remind you when to feed your pet, foster pet profiles, links to helpful pet care websites, and much more.

Statistics

  1. The ASPCA states that approximately 6.5 million animals enter shelters nationwide every year, and one of the leading causes are owners surrendering them because they don’t want them anymore.

  2. Each year, 1.5 million animals are euthanized because animal shelters are too crowded and cannot hold them anymore

  3. Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home.

About Us
