#Title: HappiTails

###Type:

• Mini-Project

###Prerequisites:

• Ruby
  • Objects/Classes
  • Initializer
  • Accessors
  • gets.chomp
  • Multi-file projects ('require')

###Objectives:

• Practice creating objects

###Activity:

• Work on this lab in pairs
• There is a spec folder containing tests on each model.
  • Make sure these tests pass before moving on.

###Explanation

• You are the manager at HappiTails animal shelter. You need to manage your shelter by storing and manipulating information about clients and animals.
• Make git commits as you finish each phase, so you can see the history

###Starter Code

• You are given some code and and files to get yourself started
  • main.rb
    • This is the file you will use to run your program with ruby main.rb
    • This is the file that will be responsible for prompting users, and taking input
  • data.rb
    • You do not need to write or change any code in this file but you may want to look at it
    • Once you have created your classes this file will seed your program with data
  • animal.rb, client.rb, shelter.rb
    • These files are for your classes
    • animal.rb has some code started for you, but the other classes you'll have to create from scratch
  • spec
    • These are your rspec tests to help ensure your program is working properly
    • To run all your specs run rspec in your teminal
    • To run a specific set of specs run rspec spec/<filename> in your terminal, i.e. rspec spec/animal_spec.rb
