The North Attleboro Animal Shelter aims to upgrade its online presence through social networking technologies. The project goals are to make shelter information more timely through tweets on Twitter and more interactive through social networks like Facebook and Lotsa Helping Hands. This will help facilitate coordination of shelter needs and events for the public.
