A nonprofit platform that matches shelter dogs to the right families, and handles the logistics in between.
About 320,000 dogs were euthanized in U.S. shelters in 2025. Not because America does not want dogs: roughly 8.2 million are acquired every year.
Best Friends Animal Society calculates that if about 1 in 17 of those households chose a shelter dog instead of a breeder or a pet store, the country could be no kill. That is six percent. The name is the mission.
The dogs exist and the families exist. What is missing is the infrastructure between them.
A short, warm questionnaire about how you actually live, then dogs who fit that life. Breed explains about 9% of how an individual dog behaves. How you spend a Saturday explains more.
Capacity runs out when a foster cannot be found in time, and today that search is a social media post and whoever happens to see it. We are building a shared, current list of fosters and drivers that every rescue in a region can draw on.
We read from the software rescues already use. Nothing to upload, no second profile to keep current, and listings stay theirs.
An early version is running on real dogs from Milo Foundation in the Bay Area. A few questions about how you actually live, then the dogs who fit that life, with every claim attributed to the people who know them.
You are not being asked to enter your dogs again, or to maintain anything new. We read from the system you already keep, your listings stay yours, and you can disconnect and take everything with you.
We are starting in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to talk to the organizations doing this work here. If that is you, please get in touch.
The 6% Project is led by Asha R. Agrawal, who has spent more than a decade in mission-driven environmental organizations as a lawyer, operator and finance executive, and is now turning to animal welfare as an extension of that mission.
