 Abstract
Animal adoption in India is generally done by buying dogs/cats from pet shop or buying from
the people whose pets have had babies. There are very few people who adopt stray pets.
There are 76 lakhs of domestic animals entering animal shelters worldwide annually out of
which 27 lakhs are euthanized. So, the number of euthanized animals can be reduced if
people adopt pets instead of buying them from pet markets. The dog catchers in India
behave roughly with dogs which is something we need to change. Also, Now-a-days, the
problem of stray animals abused by people and even abandoned by their owner is being
quite prevalent in our society, while some people are looking and trying to adopt a pet
lovingly as their family. Finding pets for adoption or even posting our pet for adoption and
letting masses know about it is not an easy task. Our application aims to help users to
conveniently search variety of available pet animals which are either rescued or posted by
their owner for adoption in their nearby locations. This entire project would involve the
development of the pet adoption application using java, android studio and Firebase. The
inspiration of this project is an Android for people to be more aware of the stray animals
awaiting to get adopted around India.

 Introduction
1.1 Problem Statement
The current methods used to adopt or looking for pet is inefficient and haphazard. People
spread the news to the people around the area where the pet is lost or needs to be adopted
which does not reach the masses very efficiently. People also post stories on social media
platforms such as Instagram, Facebook. There are numerous scammers too who try to falsely
claim the reward for returning the pet to their rightful owner. To save animals from cruelty a
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act was passed in 1960, however there were no strict laws
in that act as animals could be used for lab experiments and entertainment. Besides all this,
animals on the streets are harassed by people by throwing stones just for entertainment.
The numbers of stray animals have increased gradually over the years as people abandon
their pets. Though there are many kind-hearted people but still a platform is required where
people come to know the sufferings of stray animals.

1.2 Motivation
Developed for pet lovers, Adopt Me - is an initiative towards the pet and stray animals
through an Android application through which users can easily post their pet or any other
stray animal found, or any animal lost for adoption as well as users those who want to adopt
pets of their choice using various features provided in the application. Its graphical user
interface is designed in a manner to attract a wide variety of people The app proves to be an
efficient way of adopting and post pets, hence reaching the masses.

1.3 Scope
The scope of this project extends to all the users interested and willing to post their own
pets or lost pets or stray animals for adoption and to the users wanting to adopt pet of their
choice. The app is extremely efficient and suitable for finding pets in a greater location range
reaching through larger masses.
