Fix It Friday: Find homes for rescued animals with a little help from technology

It’s another Fix It Friday and this time we’re helping a pet shelter streamline their picture taking process so pets can find homes faster.

Shelter Hope Pet Shop wants to find homes for rescued animals, but their donated computers were unorganized and couldn’t connect to the printer.

On top of that, the shelter needed to regularly post pictures of newly rescued animals, but their wireless camera was having issues connecting to the cloud–until we stepped in.

We downloaded manufacturer specific software so the wireless printer could be recognized on each  computer.

Then we synced all their photos and documents using a shared Dropbox folder.

And finally, to streamline their photo taking process, we set them up with a Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 so the all the pictures taken will be automatically be synced to their Dropbox folder.

Have a tech issue you want fixed on a future edition of Fix It Friday? Send an email to rich@ktla.com with a description of your problem and tell us your story!

We’ll be in touch if we think we can help.
