Aplicación móvil para la gestión de adopción de mascotas rescatadas en el refugio animal Kodah del cantón Cevallos

Abstract

For the adoption of animals, documents are collected manually causing loss of information and difficulties in accessing records. The purpose of this research project was to propose the implementation of a mobile application for the adoption of rescued pets. In this context, data collection techniques such as surveys and interviews were used to identify the problems of the shelter in this process and also to gather the requirements for the development of the application. The growing awareness of animal welfare and the need to facilitate efficient adoption processes highlights the importance of this initiative. The methodology applied is based on the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach, taking advantage of the flexibility and speed offered by this method to adapt to the changing needs of the project. The use of the Firebase platform as a database provides a secure and scalable structure to manage information related to pets and adopters. The main line of research is framed within Software Development, with an emphasis on creating practical and efficient solutions to concrete problems. The mobile application developed with React Native technology represents an innovation in the field of rescued animal adoption management, providing an intuitive and accessible interface for both shelter staff and prospective adopters.
