Other Ideas To Improve Breed Matching
- Add a time commitment filter (minutes/day for walks, play, and training).
- Include a noise tolerance filter (quiet, moderate, vocal).
- Add budget range (grooming + routine care costs by breed profile).
- Use a short temperament quiz and weight calm/social/protective traits.
- Offer an "adoptable alternatives" mode to surface similar shelter-friendly breeds.
