        abstract = {The health and well-being of shelter domestic animals are directly associated with the conditions of the external environment around them, including air quality, noise levels, humidity, and temperatures. The purpose of this project is to offer the creation of a smart system for animal shelters to monitor an environment with IoT technology. Such a system must continuously check and analyze essential environment parameters in order to maintain good living conditions within the shelter for the domestic animals. Using a combination of sensors implemented with a microcontroller and wireless communication modules, the system captures real-time information and sends it to a centralized cloud-based system. Data captured can be viewed using an intuitive web or mobile interface, allowing shelter personnel to receive notifications and act upon them when conditions stray from set limits. The system also provides data logging and visualization to facilitate long-term data analysis and decision support. With the application of this IoT-based system, the project expects to advance animal welfare, lower stress-induced ailments, and streamline shelter management. The proposed system is scalable, cost-efficient, and suited to shelters with differing capacities, thereby being an excellent tool in promoting standards of care in animal welfare organizations.},
