Bangalore's quiet, unmanaged street animal crisis

Thousands of community dogs and cats live inside our neighborhoods. Passionate animal lovers step up — but they work in total isolation, with no system, no coordination, and no support.

Food Waste & Pests

Uncoordinated feeding creates mess, attracts pests, and sparks resident complaints.

Missed Vaccinations

No centralized tracking means animals miss ARV and sterilization schedules, creating health risks.

Night Road Accidents

Hundreds of street dogs face severe injury or death each year — invisible to drivers in the dark.

Zero Coordination

No shared system means duplicated efforts, wasted money, and burnout among volunteers.

The App + The Three-Pillar Pod System

Each neighborhood Pod runs on a simple digital app for tracking dogs — backed by three ground-level pillars that keep the community organised and every animal safe.

Step 01

Upload & Register

Any Pod member photographs a stray dog in their area and uploads it to the community registry. Give them a name, describe their markings, and instantly add them to the neighbourhood's shared network.

Step 02

Community Sightings

Every member reports whether they've recently seen that dog in the area. This crowdsourced presence tracking gives the Pod a live picture of which animals are around, missing, or need urgent attention.

Step 03

Map to Area

Once confirmed present by the community, the Pod Head officially maps the dog to the area. Mapped dogs are prioritised for consistent feeding, vaccination tracking, and reflective collar drives.

Pillar 01

The Feeding Roster

Volunteers sign up for fixed morning or evening slots. Food is distributed at designated spots away from play areas and footpaths — eliminating mess and reducing neighbourhood complaints.

Pillar 02

Health & ABC Tracker

A centralised digital log for every tracked animal in the Pod area. Monitors health status, past injuries, and alerts the network for Anti-Rabies Vaccinations (ARV) and sterilisation schedules.

Pillar 03

The Glow-Up Drive

Every tracked street dog gets a durable, low-cost neon reflective collar — making them visible to vehicles from over 100 metres away. A simple step that drastically cuts down night accidents.
