Animal Welfare Professionals

Hello friends. 

(I hope I am doing this right. I posted a version of this featuring my dog Shirley (I'm worried about seeming inauthentic) but for some reason my account was deleted it appeared or the post didn't go through without really any reasoning. ). 

I'm curious to gauge the interest for The Weatherhound - which I'd hope would be a nonprofit application that would connect pet owners, their pets, and the weather together in a way that'll make everyone healthier, safer, and snuggly. 

The demo is right here, just enter your zip code:  https://codepen.io/Paul-Meekin/full/eYXGNJO

I'm curious:

1. does this seem helpful to anyone, or am I bonkers?
2. Is this the kind of thing that might qualify for a grant? Would I have to be an actual charity?
3. Are there any businesses interested in hiring me to do this, for them? 
4. Who is your favorite of the weather value mascots!
