Development of the map used in dispatch by Swindle and the field services team was the creation of Ray Rentschler , in partnership with the city ’ s Information Technology department about six months ago .
“ Leveraging technology helps optimize resources for field services staff to maximize life-saving efforts ,” said Rentschler , creator of multiple dashboards and maps for Animal Services in partnership with the city ’ s Information Technology department . “ Utilizing technology literally provides a roadmap to efficiently connect field staff to locations where they are needed in the community and aid in our focused effort to reunite pets with their owners ”
Rentschler also created a dashboard with information about Arlington ’ s feral cats that helps with administering Trap-Neuter-Return ( TNR ) program .
The TNR program has produced significant results since its implementation in August 2013 . Since that time , over 7,000 feral cats
in Arlington have been spayed or neutered through the TNR program . Each feral cat going through the program is sterilized , receives vaccinations and an ear tip – the universal sign of a feral cat that has been through the program . Prior to TNR being established , the cat kennels in the shelter were consistently filled to capacity . TNR helps stops the breeding cycle of feral cats and over time , will minimize feral cat numbers and nuisances .
