Despite thousands of animal lovers in the city, current efforts are fragmented and reactive.

Food Waste & Mess

Uncoordinated feeding leads to overfed areas, rotting food, and resident complaints.

Missed Vaccinations

Without a localized tracking system, rabies and parvo outbreaks remain a constant threat.

Road Accidents

Uncollared stray dogs are highly vulnerable during night traffic.

Zero Coordination

Individual feeders bear the financial and emotional burden alone.

How It Works

A seamless app experience backed by organized community action.

The App

photo_camera Upload: A quick snap registers a stray animal in the database.
visibility Sightings: Log daily locations for accurate heatmaps.
map Map to Area: The animal is automatically assigned to a local 'Pod' (100m radius).

Sustainable Model

eco Micro-Donations: Pods crowdfund for specific, local needs (e.g., ₹500 for a local dog's vaccination).
eco Corporate Partnerships: Local vets offer 'Pod Discounts' in exchange for coordinated care.
eco Open-Source Core: The app infrastructure remains free for community use, supported by larger municipal grants.
