ResCute is a Cross Platform (web and mobile) application which allows users to browse through an assortment of pets listed for adoption.
As a prospective pet owner, I want to be able to see a pet and get some information on one before I go through an adoption process.

We began with our general API research relative to our project idea. After wireframing and mapping out our entity relationship diagrams, we played to our strong suits and completed role assignments. Working under an agile development system, we completed our backend database, route directives and front-end objectives. As an additional feature, we added a media page for instructional videos. Lastly we've deployed our site, which you can find if you click here.
There were some issues retrieving live data which slowed down our servers. In the future, we are looking into adding a social media aspect to our page to share pet recommendations with friends and family members.
