Bloomington, IN animal shelter designs twitter bot to automatically update new pet arrivals

Leveraging the Animal Shelter's Twitter feed

The Bloomington Animal Shelter partnered with the Bloomington Civic Code group, BMG Hack, to create a Twitter Bot to automatically update the Shelter’s Twitter feed with new, adoptable pets. The feature pulls animal profiles including pictures from the shelter’s database and posts them to Twitter. Staff have to enter profiles into the database anyway, so no additional staff time is required. The sooner the public knows a particular pet is available for adoption, the better!
