In at this time’s courting world, apps are the most well-liked solution to make connections. Now folks can swipe proper, Tinder-style, to search out the proper pet.

The app permits customers to swipe proper on animal profiles, opening the door to a possible connection that would result in an in-person assembly, says SPCA group director Jenmon Jenkins.

“We purposely designed the app for a real discovery experience so that users can explore all kinds of animals that are available for adoption at the SPCA, including dogs, cats and other small animals,” says Jenkins.

In Hong Kong, animal abandonment is just not unusual, says Jenkins.

“Unfortunately, the adoption rate remains low post-pandemic due to travel and emigration, resulting in the SPCA’s dog kennels reaching full capacity,” she provides.

“To keep up with people’s busy lifestyle, and inspired by the modern approach to how dating apps can bring humans together, we are thrilled to introduce our new app.”

Each animal has a profile that includes its photograph, identify, age, breed, kennel location and different data. Users can swipe proper if an animal appeals and might then make plans to go to the designated shelter for a meet-up.

To mark the app’s launch, the SPCA will maintain a Dog Adoption Date occasion on February 24 at pet retailer Petisan in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island, the place contributors will get to satisfy rescue dogs from SPCA adoption centres.

The Adoption Date app is available to obtain on the App Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android.

Dog Adoption Date, February 24, 1pm-4pm, Petisan, 1 U Lam Terrace, Sheung Wan. Free admission, no RSVP required.
