Project Scope Statement
Project Name
Harmony Haven: A Music-Based Sanctuary for Rescued Dogs
Project Purpose
To create a two-page website prototype for a real-world concept: a sanctuary that helps rescued dogs transition to adoption through the healing power of music. The site will raise awareness about the emotional and neurological benefits of music therapy for dogs recovering from trauma, abandonment, or neglect.
Description
This project will include:
- Page One: An introduction to Harmony Haven, its mission, and how music therapy is used to calm and stimulate rescued dogs.
- Page Two: A showcase of adoptable dogs, each with a short story and a curated musical pairing that reflects their personality or healing journey.
The website will be built using basic HTML and CSS and housed in a professional GitHub repository with all planning documentation.
