Problem or Opportunity

Many pet adoption platforms of today are more attractive to shelters than they are to potential pet parents. That's why 4.500 animals will be euthanized today only in the US

1) Adoption/Lives - 4.500 animals will be euthanized today only in the US + over 20% of animals returned after adoption. In 2020 US pet adoptions increased by a huge 35%! People want to find and take care of these animals, they just need some help in the process.
2) Health - over 70% of pets have issues with allergies, immune system, internal organs, and need special natural foods.
3) Money - natural pet foods and accessories cost more. Same time thousands of small manufacturers of fresh pet food (+21% in sales US/2020) handmade clothes and accessories (+14%/2020), who also really care about animals, every day trying to find their cheap audience and placement.
4) People often spend anywhere from one week to one month to adopt a pet (only 4-7 days for documents). Now breeding much faster.

Solution (product or service)

In our market research, we found that most shelters already accumulate lots of data on their pets. Often, this data is left untouched. With a lack of information about pets, legal processes, and pet care, people can be left disheartened and confused by the process. Today, adoption platforms struggle to make the customer journey appealing. We’re here to change that.

We aggregate the data from shelters & fosters (pets & their vet history, life history, food history, special needs), small local manufacturers of natural fresh pet food, handmade clothes/accessories & use LeoHome AI (based on ML then BD):
- to help find & adopt the most appropriate pets up to 30% faster;
- to redirect to the most suitable products (individually according to the Data) for their happy & healthy life, all at affordable prices.

Data-Driven Pet->Product Matching
LeoHome provides a 3-minute smart survey that matches people and pets based on compatibility. Answer questions relating to energy, confidence, focus, and independence - the four “Core Personality Quadrants”. The quiz assesses your personality, lifestyle and home as it relates to pet parenting. Adoptable pets are given a similar personality profile.

Your Ideal Pet
Using an algorithm similar to dating sites, results are tailored to match you with your ideal pet. The results include a description of your 'ideal pet' to help you understand what to look for in your next best friend.

Matching pets List
You will see a list of nearby canine or feline candidates who are in need of a forever home. Your pet list is automatically ranked based on overall match score. Further refine your pet list using filters for preferences, such as age, size, and breed.
