Context

India’s streets are home to roughly 35 million dogs, a number that’s

grown by 17 percent since 2016. The majority live tough lives,
scavenging for food among garbage and possibly spreading diseases.
Most are native Indian breeds, like the South Asian pariah dog or
Rajapalayam hound, so they’re often called “indie” dogs—a kinder term
used by many animal advocates instead of “stray” or “street.”

According to a recent census by the local government in Bangalore—the

Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, or BBMP—the number of street
dogs is soaring past 300,000.

There's also a movement among Bengalureans now to treat the animals

with more respect, which is why more and more are adopting or
fostering indies.

Problem

People who are interested in adopting are usually not sure which Indie
breed to choose which matches their lifestyle, considering factors
including breed, gender, age, temperament, and health status.

The ask: Design an experience

Design an experience that will help connect people looking to adopt an

Indie with the right companion for them.
● Help first time adopters to find the right match based on their
lifestyle
● Help people in getting their questions on adoptions answered
