Dubai: Dubai Municipality has launched an updated version of smart phone app Aleef, which handles the records of pets, pet owners, pet adoption, registration, treatment and pet care.
Heba Al Shehhi, head of Applications Development Section in the IT Department, said the overwhelming response from the public to use the app and requests for improving its performance prompted the department to make modifications to suit the needs of the public.
The application has received 34,234 service requests so far this month, of which, 27,696 were for treatment, 25 for stray animals, 14 for adoption and 85 requests for pet ownership change.
Aleef is a smart platform for the current pet owners and soon-to-be owners to improve the management, adoption and care of pets in Dubai under the municipality regulations. All pet information (via public and private clinics) are managed through the mobile phone app, the central point for those interested in pets and a single comprehensive source for pet ownership.
“It also facilitates the announcements on lost and found animals as well as stray animals,” Al Shehhi said. She added that work is under way to add a number of animals up for adoption through the app.
