Interactive pet display? I may have found a solution...
so one of the big issues that the shelter has is that not all of the animals are on display, and most people don't ask to see the rest in the back. They have this empty kiosk up front that could totally house a computer. The BEST situation I think would to have an interactive display/program that showed all the animals in the shelter along with videos and images.
However, a couple problems I face:
a) I am not a computer programer
b) It needs to be easily updated by the volunteers, and can't require any coding knowlege to update.
So why invent the wheel? My goal for this project is to find a way to solve the list of problems I was given by them. I've been searching for a good program that I could utilize and set up there (along with getting a donated computer). And I think I have found it: http://www.rescuegroups.org/services_kiosk
It is a free services, however it is typically used at adoption events and fairs. I have contacted them and I'll see what they say, I think it would be a perfect fit.

Some faces at the shelter
This guy could jump as high as my head, I've caught him in a rare moment of stillness.
