Woods Humane Society 1.6.1

The Woods app is a valuable tool for volunteers at Woods Humane Society, providing them with an efficient way to manage the animals in the shelter. It allows volunteers to easily identify dogs that require extra attention and conveniently log various forms of care. These categories of care include walks, play yard time, kennel time, baths, offsite outings, and training.

One of the standout features of the app is its real-time updating functionality, which ensures that information about the dogs in the shelter is always up to date. Additionally, the app automatically clears each care entry daily, streamlining the record-keeping process for volunteers.

Volunteers can also leave comments within the app, enabling effective communication with staff and other volunteers regarding specific dogs they have worked with. This fosters a collaborative environment within the organization.

To make identification easier, female dogs are outlined in a distinct maroon color, while male dogs are outlined in blue. This simple visual distinction contributes to a more efficient workflow for volunteers.

This app offers benefits to multiple parties:

1. The staff at Woods Humane Society benefits greatly from this app as it eliminates the need for manual maintenance of a whiteboard. The app automatically syncs available animal data from the shelter database, minimizing administrative tasks and ensuring accurate information.
2. Volunteers also experience significant advantages through using this app. They can maximize their time spent working with the dogs rather than spending unnecessary time determining which dogs require specific care. This allows for more efficient use of volunteer resources.
3. Ultimately, the dogs themselves benefit the most from this app. The streamlined communication and enhanced organization provided by the app result in increased attention, love, and care, aligning perfectly with Woods Humane Society's overarching goal.

It's important to note that account verification from Woods Humane Society is mandatory to log in to the app, ensuring the security and integrity of the system and protecting the well-being of the animals.

The Woods app was created by Carson Carroll, Vivian Fong, and Vanessa Forney, who clearly understand the specific needs of both volunteers and animals in a shelter environment. Their expertise shines through in the thoughtfulness and effectiveness of this app.
