The city has launched a new app called JaxPawFinder that connects people to shelter pets. Much like a dating app, it lets users enter characteristics they would like in a dog or cat — such as age, size, temperament and energy level — and instantly matches them with pets that are the best fit. JaxPawFinder is available in the App Store and on Google Play. For more information, go to jacksonville.gov/categories/mobile-apps/jaxpawfinder.
