ABSTRACT

The situation changes as the COVID-19 pandemic affects the whole world. The impact of the pandemic does not only affect the health sector but also the economy. Restrictions on activities to decrease the spread of COVID-19 produce an impact on business activities and cause national economic losses. Pets are one of the many aspects that have been badly affected by this phenomenon. The donations received by animal shelters have decreased drastically while the number of abandoned animals continued to increase. The limitation of community movement due to social distancing also limits the effective information media during this pandemic. The research method used is qualitative, data collection with literature studies regarding the right media for the socialization of wild animal shelters, interviews with experts regarding the media to be designed, and observations at animal shelters in Jakarta, which is the area of research. Designing a mobile application so that people can donate online and adopt the abandoned animals to help maximize the awareness about the shelter of wild animals to the public.
