Okay, as many of you know, I run a non-profit animal protection organization that deals with criminal animal cruelty cases. My organization is linked from the websites of the ASPCA, American Humane, HSUS, and other "big boys" in the animal welfare arena. We have been featured in People Magazine, and I have appeared on the G. Gordon Liddy show twice to talk about the organization. (My point in telling you all this isn't to stroke my own ego - just to show you that this is a legit organization that is getting national attention.)

As it stands now, I am still the focal point of the organization. I still add most of the new cases that come in, write the content for the website, send out the newsletters, etc etc.

Our growing media attention is wonderful, with one major drawback. The number of cases submitted continues to increase - but the number of people available to add case information does not. This results in an ever increasing workload for me, with no relief in sight. As such, I am desperate to find a handful of reliable people who can help with this.

We have a sophisticated data entry area, and all cases are submitted to a work queue, which is handled by a mailing list.

If you're interested in helping, please let me know. Required skills are:

* Attention to detail - this is critical!
* Some level of writing skill
* A strong stomach for animal cruelty

I know this opportunity isn't for everyone - we deal with some pretty awful cases, and we frequently deal with photos and/or video - not stuff everyone will be able to handlle. That said, if you think you might be interested in helping me (and the organization) out, please drop me a line. I'm at my wits end. :(

Awesome! Shoot me an email to agianotto@pet-abuse.com so I have your email addy on this computer. I'll send you the volunteer form, the users manual to the system, etc.

Make sure to mention in the email:
1) what email address you would like to use as your login (no one sees this except you)
2) what password you would like to use

It should be noted that as a volunteer with Pet-Abuse.Com, your name will NEVER appear anywhere on our site. We do this for your security, since some of the people in our database are dangerous. (I have had death threats at my home, etc.) This is also to protect you legally, in the event that we were ever sued.

1st off THANK YOU for your hard work!! Just about every animal I have ever had has come from a Rescue Group or City Animal Control.

I am in Texas so I don't know if I could be of assistance to you. But I am very interested if I can.

Thank you,
Lady B
