Woofy: Pakistan’s First Connected Animal Rescue App
How Dexic built Woofy — a mobile app uniting rescuers, shelters, and animal lovers to save lives through real-time connection and community-driven care.
Talha Naeem
Every day, hundreds of injured, lost, or abandoned animals are found on Pakistan’s streets — yet only a few receive timely help.
The biggest issue? There was no central platform to report, locate, or coordinate animal rescues. People who wanted to help often didn’t know where to start or who to contact.
That’s where Woofy came in — an app built to connect people who care with those who can help.
The Challenge
Before Woofy, animal rescue efforts in Pakistan were scattered and unorganized. There was no structured way to report incidents or coordinate between rescuers, shelters, and volunteers.
Major Issues
- No centralized reporting system for animal rescues
- Poor coordination between rescuers, vets, and the public
- Limited awareness and accessibility for those wanting to help
As a result, countless animals went unnoticed or didn’t receive help in time.
The Solution
Dexic developed Woofy, a social-impact mobile application designed to make animal rescue simple, fast, and connected.
Woofy serves as a bridge between people who witness an animal in need and those equipped to respond — bringing structure and visibility to Pakistan’s rescue ecosystem.
Key Features
- Instant Reporting — Users can quickly report injured, lost, or stray animals with photos and GPS-based location details.
- Real-Time Connection — The app connects reporters with nearby rescuers, shelters, and volunteers for immediate action.
- Community Network — A growing ecosystem that allows NGOs, vets, and animal lovers to collaborate and share updates.
- Future Expansion — Woofy aims to become a one-stop platform for animal-related services including adoption, veterinary care, and awareness campaigns.
Technology Stack
- Frontend: Flutter — delivering a seamless experience across Android and iOS.
- Backend: Laravel — powering secure, scalable communication between users, rescuers, and shelters.
The Results
Since its launch, Woofy has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from animal rescuers, NGOs, and the general public. 🐾
It has made reporting and responding to animal emergencies faster and more effective, directly contributing to saving countless animal lives.
Beyond rescue, the app has also sparked greater public awareness and participation in animal welfare — one rescue at a time.
Conclusion
Woofy is more than just an app — it’s a movement of compassion.
Built by Dexic, it shows how thoughtful technology can make a tangible difference in society by connecting hearts, hands, and hope.
With Woofy, Pakistan took a meaningful step toward creating a safer world — not just for people, but for every living being.
