StrayCare is designed to create a stray animal's friendly community! With this app, we aim to bridge the gap between animal lovers and stray animals in need.
-
The app is simple and user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to create a profile and get started. Once you've joined the community, you can browse through profiles of stray animals that are up for adoption.
-
Overall, our app is the perfect tool for anyone who loves animals and wants to make a positive impact in their community. By providing resources for adoption, vaccination, and posting about stray animals, StrayCare is developed to create a world where all animals receive the love and care they deserve.
Stray dogs are a significant problem in India, with an estimated population of around 30 million. These dogs are often neglected and left to fend for themselves, leading to a range of health and behavioral issues. These dogs can pose a variety of issues, including the risk of rabies and the lack of proper care.
According to a survey conducted in 2020 by the National Institute of Animal Welfare, there are around 69,000 stray dogs in Delhi alone. Similarly, in Mumbai, there are around 95,000 stray dogs, according to a survey conducted in 2015. These numbers illustrate the magnitude of the problem and the need for effective solutions.
-
Lack of proper food and shelter: Another issue with stray dogs in India is the problem of no care. These animals often lack access to proper food, water, and shelter, and they are vulnerable to a range of health issues and diseases. Additionally, stray dogs may pose a threat to public safety by attacking people, particularly children.
-
Risk of rabies: Rabies is a deadly viral disease that can be transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected animal, such as a dog. In India, around 17.4 million people are bitten by dogs each year, with over 20,000 deaths due to rabies annually. Stray dogs are a significant contributor to these statistics, as they are more likely to carry the virus due to their lack of vaccinations and medical care.
The application that we developed is complete in itself for every animal lover, who wishes to do their part for welfare of animals. Its features give the ability to people to help the animals that are in need of love and care.
The features and abilities of StrayCare are as follows:
-
Adopt: The user can upload the photo of a stray animal that they see around them, along with the location and a brief description of the animal. Another user can now scroll through the feed or go to the "Put up for Adoption" section, where they can find and adopt the animal.
-
Vaccination: Let's consider a scenario where the user wants to vaccinate a dog that they see nearby. Through our app, user can upload the image of the animal along with the proof that they are vaccinated and the location where the animal is present.
