The PawNav manifesto
67 percent of American households own a pet. The system that's supposed to serve them is built entirely for the organizations.
Shelters have software. Vets have software. Rescue groups have software.
The person trying to adopt the right animal, understand a vet bill, keep a foster animal alive through the night, or find help they can afford — they have nothing.
PawNav is built for that person. And for the animal that needs them to succeed.
