🐾 Pet Adoption System - Java OOP Project

📌 Project Overview

The Pet Adoption System is a Java-based application designed using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles.
It simulates the workflow of a pet shelter, allowing users to manage pets, adopters, and adoption records through an intuitive console-based interface.
