The USAPets application is provided to the various counties/shelters in Indiana. In the event of an emergency where constituents are displaced from their homes, the application will serve as a means to help locate and track the location of their companion animals.  The application also serves as a tool for capacity planning at the shelters to determine best location for animal occupancy in the event of an emergency.  The application operates in standalone mode as well as a connected environment and provides data synchronization among all of the Indian shelters.  The USAPets application is a component of USAHerds which serves as the central repository for the collective data.

1. Digital photograph association to help match pets with owners
