If you want to adopt a pet and have already dreamed up the perfect-looking pooch or feline in your mind, using the PetMatch app is probably one of the best ways to see if you can be paired up with a local pet nearby.
To get started on your quest to find the perfect pet, PetMatch lets you upload or take a picture, which is then matched using image recognition technology to pets at adoption agencies close to you. PetMatch also provides information to connect you with the adoption agency if it's love at first sight and you're ready to meet your new pet.
Due to the nature of the app, it's also been suggested that this may be a useful way to search for a look-alike replacement of a deceased pet, but let's not go there.
