The rescue rate of homeless animals in the shelter is only at about 30% nowadays, which implies that the others are mostly put to death by the shelter in order to save the resource for the newcomers. This article has combined the blockchain technology and pet adoption to save stray animals from this situation. By designing smart contracts for adoption and deploying them in the blockchain, an efficient and convenient way is provided to adopt pets. Moreover, privacy of users will be well protected due to the property of blockchain. It is also possible that owners who wants to send their pets away can receive an estimate date of adoption calculated using machine learning algorithm. By providing these features and eliminating privacy violation risks, people would likely to trust and be fond of this new way for adoption, therefore increase the probability for stray animals to find a new home. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of pet adoption related blockchain technology.
