Dost Yuva: a pet adoption website

• Filters for species, age group, city and district, size, gender, temperament and neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, plus search; a “Found a home” list and a permanent address for every listing.
• The listing page puts the animal’s character, story and a dated health history (vaccines, parasite treatment, check-ups) in one place; the adoption application and sharing on WhatsApp start there.
• Adoption, foster and volunteer applications are taken with data-protection consent (KVKK) and get an SB-YYYY-NNNN number; the applicant checks the status with the number and the last four digits of the phone. The adoption form also asks about the landlord’s permission, whether everyone at home agrees, how escape-proof the home is and the hours alone.
• In the panel an application’s status is changed, a note only the manager sees is written and the history is followed; an adoption agreement is filled in from a template and printed.
• A listing given by a visitor goes to an approval queue and appears on the site once the manager presses “Yayına al” (put live).
• Manager and volunteer roles: a volunteer manages listings and applications and does not see the settings or the users.
• For a new application or listing: a badge in the panel, a free phone notification and an e-mail (no SMS or WhatsApp message); a setup guide, help boxes; it installs on a phone or computer.
• Site name, colour, texts, the bank (IBAN) details and a needs list are changed in the panel; listings and applications are downloaded as CSV, a listing list is imported from Excel or CSV with a preview and can be taken back; a backup is downloaded from the panel.

1. Find a listing

   The visitor narrows by species, age, city, size, temperament and health, or types a name, breed or city.

2. Apply

   Someone who wants to adopt fills in the form on the listing page and gets an application number; foster and volunteer applications go the same way.

3. Post a listing, get it approved

   A listing given by a visitor goes to an approval queue; the manager puts it live with “Yayına al”.

4. Follow the panel

   The association changes an application’s status, writes a note, prints the agreement and sets the site name and colour.

• Not delivered to a client and not used by a real association; it has been run only on my own demo hosting account (PHP 8.3); the listings, people and numbers are sample data.
• The live demo is public and resets at the start of every hour; no e-mail or notification leaves it, and user and password actions are locked.
• There is no card donation, SMS or WhatsApp automation, e-signature, map, automatic posting, microchip registry network, automatic matching or membership system.
• E-mail goes through the hosting’s mail() function and its arrival is not certain; the phone notification is a quick heads-up.
• Add to Home Screen on a real phone, Safari and Firefox, and other hosting have not been tried.
• The photographs come from Unsplash and the interface is in Turkish.
