Pets & Pals is a prototype app that helps match prospective owners to animals that already fit into their lifestyle to avoid conflicts and stress on both sides. It matches based on personalities and living situations to not only give a perspective on what good matches look like, but to also suggest pets that may not have been initially considered. There is an animal therapy option as an alternative to those whose lifestyles may not be suitable for a pet, but still would like to have the company.

The final product was developed after a series of interviews, competitive reviews, developing personas, establishing a user flow, prototyping and making adjustments after receiving feedback.
