8–10%

of adopted pets are returned

47%

of re-homed dogs had “pet problems”

2.2 million

pets go unadopted in the U.S. each year

920,000

shelter animals are euthanized annually

The Solution

Perfect Pet guides users to the right pet through an AI quiz, tailored matches, and built-in education.
