We're partnering with one shelter in Edinburgh (Scotland) to start, and built the website and a pair of apps to showcase animal listings. We've had a few success stories of people finding pets already, which is really motivating!
If you know of a shelter in the UK who might want their listings on there (ideally they'll have a means of exporting them and we'll build an importer), let them know to get in touch with us :)
