Project Context

In some countries where animal protection laws are not yet well-established, many pets find themselves in peril, desperately in need of a warm shelter. At the same time, compassionate people aspire to provide these pets with a permanent home. Dodo emerges as the conduit connecting these two groups.

User Persona

People willing to adopt pets internationally often already have pets because they understand the joys and responsibilities of pet care. Their experience makes them more empathetic, patient, and capable of handling the challenges of an international adoption, like travel and adjustment.
