Abstract

Annually, over 7.6 million pets are abandoned, including about 3.4 million cats. A significant number of these animals are placed in shelters as a result of human-induced factors such as abandonment, poor living conditions, and rejection. This exceeds the animal shelter's capabilities to rescue and adequately care for strays due to congestion. This circumstance impacts both the physical and mental well of the animals, underscoring the necessity of resolving the stray animal issue. In the absence of adequate intervention, the population of stray animals will persist in increasing, thereby exerting pressure on shelter resources and jeopardizing animal welfare. The study, PAWFECT Home: An Online Stray Animal Reporting, Sheltering, and Pet Adoption Platform, aimed to develop an accessible and user-friendly system to improve pet adoption, stray animal reporting, and sheltering. Utilizing the Scrum Methodology, the development process followed structured phases, including Planning, Design, Development, Testing, Review, and Deployment. Key components of the system included database normalization, Data Flow Diagrams, Use-Case Diagrams, Entity-Relationship Diagrams, and Wireframes, ensuring efficiency and scalability. The platform was built using web technologies such as PHP and XAMPP for database management. To assess the system’s effectiveness, IT professionals, shelter representatives, pet owners, and end-users participated in a structured evaluation. The system was evaluated based on ISO 25010 standards for functionality, usability, security, and performance efficiency, and evaluated using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to measure user perception and ease of use. Results demonstrated an overall excellent rating, with a mean score of 4.72 based on ISO 25010 and 4.52 based on TAM, indicating high reliability, efficiency, and user acceptance. These findings affirm that PAWFECT Home is a valuable tool in promoting responsible pet ownership and enhancing community engagement in animal welfare.
