Abstract:
The One-Stop Pet Adoption Platform is a web-based application that consolidates pet
discovery and adoption with post-adoption services in a single cohesive system. Traditional
processes are fragmented across different websites and providers, which discourages
adoptions and complicates aftercare. Our platform integrates searchable adoption listings
with rich pet profiles, an e-commerce module for essential supplies, and veterinary
appointment booking. The frontend is implemented with React (Vite and React Router)
and TailwindCSS for responsive UI; the backend uses Node.js/Express, while MySQL
provides persistent storage. JWT and bcrypt enforce secure authentication. Testing spans
unit, integration, system, usability, performance, and security validations. Results
indicate that unifying adoption and aftercare reduces friction for users and improves
operational oversight for administrators via role-based tools. The solution establishes a
robust foundation for future enhancements such as secure online payments, cloud
deployment, AI-based recommendations, and mobile application.
