Project Overview


The product: 

Wag is a pet adoption app which allows the user to search within a specified distance for possible pets by searching specific characteristics and behaviors of their “perfect pet”. The target audience are animal lovers looking to expand their family with a new furry family member.




Project duration:

October 2021-April 2022



Project Overview


The problem: 

User doesn’t have time to visit each shelter to meet each animal to see if they’re a good fit.  

The user is also concerned about underlying health issues, backgrounds, and behaviors.


The goal: 

To create a one stop shop that will provide detailed backgrounds, history on each animals health, live feed videos to watch the dogs in an everyday scenario, and listing all local shelters  and their animals available within a specific distance on the site.
