Your client is a pet that wants to be adopted from the Arizona Animal Welfare League. To make sure that this pet is happy in its newly adopted environment, the Arizona Animal Welfare League needs your help to create items that would improve its quality of life.

Design this pet’s item with as much thought and craftsmanship as you would for a person. This also includes utilizing materials that you might find in a designer’s library. Designers are also encouraged to team with general/sub contractors, architects, engineers, manufacturers representatives, and dealers.
