Personally connect you with shelther dogs to create emotional bond just like pet dogs.
UX/UI & product design | Senior project
There are more than 700,000 shelter dogs in Thailand. The shelters are in needs of help with the work while dogs need emotional connection. There are many people who want to help but don’t know how.
This is my attempt to tackle the issue that is close to my heart with something that I really love, GAMES.
People want to help dogs but don’t know how and helping through the shelter lacks the emotional connection with the dogs.
There is an unmet need there where people really want to help the dogs but lack of know-how. Even those who help through the shelter stop after some time. Why? If we look back at the fundamental reason of why people consider helping the shelters, the answer usually is 'Because I love dogs!'.
There are 4 main reasons why the current process is not working:
It’s complicated: To support the shelters, you need to go through lots of paper works.
Invisible value: You can't really see the differences that you are making.
Individual action: There is nothing such as a community at the moment.
and most importantly, I don’t see dogs: You are more likely to work with the shelters rather than dogs.
Adopt the dogs and build your own pack digitally. The best part? You can give them treats and meet them in real life too!
Every single dog in your selected shelter have their own avatar which you can virtually 'adopt'. You need to take care, love and treat them no different like the actual dogs. So that you also learn something while helping the shelther!
You can buy a treat or gift for your little friends — from snack, jerky to an outfit. You can give the gift to them yourselves or let your friends/other members do it for you!
Design for every persona. Support in anyway that suits your needs. Oh, that goes for dogs too!
You can support any dog in anyway that suit your lifestyle! If you don't have time, you can make a donation. If you want to play with the dogs, become a volunteer! Or if you see a dog on the street that need saving, you can initiate a campaign to save him/her!
But that’s not all, we also optimise the platform to suit each dog’s needs. This way every dog got the same chance to shine and be seen which means that dogs that need urgent supports can have priority.
But nothing beats petting a dog! And I agree.
Bring your dogs to life with Dogg. You can bring any dog that you adopted to life and interact with it. It can wake you up, welcome you home and more!
It can react to your actions as well as has a personality. So that you learn more about the dog that you adopted and have some (virtual) physical connection with them.
