Other Ideas To Improve Breed Matching
  • Add a time commitment filter (minutes/day for walks, play, and training).
  • Include a noise tolerance filter (quiet, moderate, vocal).
  • Add budget range (grooming + routine care costs by breed profile).
  • Use a short temperament quiz and weight calm/social/protective traits.
  • Offer an "adoptable alternatives" mode to surface similar shelter-friendly breeds.
