It all started in a hackathon as my group brainstormed for ideas on
what we can do to help the community. Due to covid19, the hackathon,
Owl Hacks, was done remotely and seemed the perfect opportunity to
meet and collaborate with other developers. My group came up with
the idea of creating a Pet Adoption website where people could find
local pets around their area to adopt. The technology we used is
React along with Bootstrap for the styling and using the PetFinder
API to request information about the pets. It was tricky because
some of the members were brand new to React and had to show them the
ropes. It was quite the learning experience for them and me too as I
never really taught React
It all began with an inspiring hackathon, Owl Hacks, where my group united with a shared goal – finding ways to support our community during the challenging times of Covid-19. Despite the event being held remotely, we saw this as a perfect opportunity to collaborate with developers from all around.

Due to the harsh times we are in, I hope people would be able to
find their own buddy that can help them. The goal is to make it
easier for people to adopt pets and learn more information about the
pets during covid19 - redxzeta
Together, we conceptualized a brilliant idea – a Pet Adoption website. Our aim was to connect people with adorable, local pets available for adoption in their area. To bring this concept to life, we leveraged the power of React and enhanced the user experience with stylish elements using Bootstrap. To fetch the pet data, we integrated the PetFinder API.
</p>
<p>
While working on the project, we encountered a few challenges, particularly in guiding some members who were new to React. As a team, we embraced this learning experience, supporting one another and growing together.
</p>
<p>
Now, more than ever, we believe in the significance of companionship during these difficult times. Our website strives to make the process of adopting a pet much simpler, enabling people to find their perfect furry companion and provide them with love and care. By offering detailed information about each pet, we hope to assist potential adopters in making informed decisions.
</p>
<p>
Our shared vision is to foster a sense of hope and positivity in the midst of the pandemic. We sincerely hope that this platform will not only connect people with their new animal companions but also inspire more kindness and empathy within our community. Together, let's make a difference and find solace in the companionship of our beloved pets during Covid-19.
