Most animal shelters face two common problems:

Lack of support. They are not supported by the state and they need financial and material support from supporters to carry on.

Lack of time. They need people to continuously adopt in order to make place for newly incoming animals.

Labka was a web platform for pet adoption that I co-founded with my friend to help solving these problems. Our project empowered animal shelters to spread the word and gather resources from supporters.

Working on a project that involves living beings, it was important for us to adhere to a philosophy where animals are treated as our equals.

One does not "own" an animal. All animals are living beings with feelings, just like us humans. We should act as their guardians and do our best to care for them.

Adoption is not shopping. Animals are not products you can buy and return on a whim or based on some arbitrary visual feature. We believe people should give every single animal a chance.

Labka filters prioritized the well-being and needs of pets over superficial human preferences. This is why I've chosen not to include filters based on appearance, such as coat color or breed:
