Abstract

The issue of stray animals in Malaysia is massive. Millions of dogs and cats wander homeless where there are no homes for them to roam in this system, which we shall henceforth call the "Find Your Pawfect Buddy" project, seeks to revolutionize the way stray animals are reported, rescued and later adopted by pet owners. Some identified challenges that include: uncoordinated report systems; struggles in finding suitable homes for these animals after rescue; and lack of centralized information on the population of strays— these issues will be addressed by a user-friendly platform that eases reporting processes, an adoption system that ensures transparency and data collection aimed at better resource allocation plus planning strategies. The choice of the Waterfall methodology with its structured approach was chosen for a well-defined development process that is stable in nature, yet it caters to a wide range of users including public adopters and shelter staff with different integrated functionalities like animal profiling or adoption management alongside reporting features. The anticipated outcomes include a reduction in stray animals, fewer road accidents caused by strays and improved social conditions in neighborhoods. Finally, "Find Your Pawfect Buddy" aims to protect animal rights and foster a harmonious coexistence between humans and animals through effective stray animal management and adoption solutions.
