Living in a digital world

When it comes to technology such as a laptop, television, camera, you buy something today, a newer version comes out tomorrow...

Download your software upgrade, wait a week and the next version is out...

IPhone, Ipad, Itouch, Ishuffle... text me, tweet me, send me a message on Facebook, read my blog...

It sounds like a Dr. Seuss riddle doesn't it? 

How is a person to keep up with it all?  It seems overwhelming at times but can sure be convenient when you literally can access the information you are looking for in seconds from your hand held device.  

If you have not already guessed, today's blog is to inform you that the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center now has an app!! 


It is in the beginning phases and we look forward to adding new features to it.  

I have included the links for both Iphone and droid users

Iphone users:

FVARC on iTunes: 


Android users:


Currently, there are 4 screens.  A home screen which clients can tap to call, tap for directions, our hours, as well as a history of our hospital.  They can also tap here to get to our website.

The news section of the app currently features directions how to use the app.

The post card screen allows clients to choose a back ground template, take a photo of their pet and email it, post it to facebook, send it to us, post it to their twitter account or just save it to their photo album.  





The 4th screen it a social screen which takes the client to our blog, pintrest board, twitter , you tube account, and facebook page.  Yes, we have ALL of those!!  

Future use for the app will be a links and library section, appointment reminders etc....
