My 'pet' project, a Tinder-esque experience for rescuing dogs and cats

I have a rescue dog - a 6 year old German Shepherd mix. When we rescued him I couldn't believe how many animals there were at all the shelters and animal control centers, and how hard it was to find out about them. I built a simple site ( https://rescueapet.benswork.space ) which connects you with available dogs and cats in your area :-) It uses data from local shelters and pulls it all into one place, so you can make a shortlist of animals, then reach out to the shelter to adopt. I was honestly surprised that something like this didn't already exist. Let me know what you think!
