Paw Saviour is an Android application built using Flutter and Firebase, designed to help rescue animals in distress. It empowers citizens to act as first responders by reporting injured or abused animals in real-time. Reports are then routed to relevant NGOs and administrators for quick action.
This project was developed as part of my 3rd-year engineering coursework, with the hope of making a small but meaningful impact in the field of animal welfare.
