Animal Rescue App Let It Wag Nominated For Techsauce Award

"If you're passionate enough about your dream, you make it come true." 

That's the mantra 28-year-old  Yash Sheth from Mumbai believed in when he founded his 'pet' venture, Let It Wag. 

Launched as an app to help animal lovers connect with each other and rescue or adopt strays; it has built a strong community of over 10k animal lovers across the country in the last two years. 

The app essentially acts as a 911 for strays and injured animals. The aim is for users to connect with nearby animal lovers in real time to get help faster. If a user sees an animal in distress, he or she can open the app, click a picture and upload it to the interface. The app traces the location via GPS, and the user then has to choose what the issue is (for example, the animal may have met with an accident) and submit a call for help.

Other app users can accept or reject the request for help, and once accepted, they get connected with the creator of the distress call. In case no one is available to take the request, the user who created the distress call can access the app’s database of vets, NGOs, animal ambulances and vet chemists near them.?
