A streamlined pet-adoption app for foster-based rescues
Rescue Rover is a mobile app concept I worked on while following the UX Design Google Certificate Program. I designed it as an Android app that can help local dog rescue organizations maintain up-to-date profiles of their adoptable dogs and help interested adopters find dogs that are compatible with their needs.
While working on this project, I gained a solid understanding of the basic concepts of UX design and learned how to use Figma to create a concept for a mobile app that can make the process of adopting a rescue dog more streamlined and enjoyable. I designed interactive mockups for the primary user flow, incorporating my learnings from the course - user-centric design, research methods and conducting usability studies.

As someone who has adopted a dog from a small rescue organization in the Bay Area, I felt particularly motivated to address some of the challenges faced by foster-based dog rescue organizations in California.
Adopting a dog can be a lengthy process, often relying on websites like PetFinder or independent research. While apps like PetFinder and WeRescue are great resources, they often only showcase larger, established rescue organizations, leaving many local foster-based groups without a platform to showcase their adoptable pets.
For this project, I designed a streamlined pet adoption app that allows potential adopters to connect directly with foster volunteers, making communication and coordination much easier and ensuring successful adoptions
