Case Study: Kansas State Animal Response Team achieves faster, paperless animal tracking and streamlined disaster response with AppSheet

Animal Response Team Finds AppSheet Solution Quite Fetching

The Kansas State Animal Response Team, a volunteer network that supports pet owners and shelters across Kansas, struggled with scattered paper records and inaccessible data. Coordinators spent time collecting handwritten forms from multiple locations, causing delays, duplicate entries for owners with multiple pets, and difficulty sharing information among volunteers during disaster responses.

Coordinator Kelly Benton built an AppSheet solution by linking Google Forms to a mobile app that works offline and syncs when connected. The app streamlined intake, eliminated duplicate owner paperwork, and sped up clinic processing—volunteers documented 102 pets in three hours versus the usual 30–40—and has been successfully used in disaster drills and trials, with plans to expand to inventory management and broader departmental use.
