About the Client

Since 1944, the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA) has been committed to the humane treatment of animals and the promotion of animal welfare. They provide temporary care and refuge for homeless and suffering animals, place animals in loving and responsible homes, provide animal control services to Arlington County, educate the public, and provide a wide variety of community services.

The Challenge

The AWLA was looking for a way to connect Arlington's technology savvy residents with animals in need. By taking advantage of the growing use of mobile devices, they sought an application that could provide potential adopters with quick and easy access to up-to-the-minute information about homeless animals at the AWLA.

The Solution

Segue Technologies® took on this project at no cost to the AWLA. Working with AWLA staff, we designed an intuitive and easy to use application which provides a current list of cats, dogs, and other companion animals that are available for adoption. The core functionality of the app follows these steps:

• Touch DOGS to get a list of all available dogs

• When you see one you like, touch it to review a detailed description including personality characteristics and exercise needs

• When you've fallen in love, touch CALL or E-MAIL to contact the AWLA immediately to inquire about adoption!
