Would you be interested in helping us out in managing the Lost Pets of Omaha Area page?

More people continue to follow and benefit from our page. We have over 57,000 followers and thousands of pets reunited as a result. We take great pride in keeping a very up-to-date, safe, judgment-free place to interact. It is one of the many reasons our page has grown and sets us apart from other pages. And, we have tried hard to be responsive to requests for posting. However, as page interactions have grown, we need to be even more responsive.

Volunteer Duties:

• Respond to Facebook messages that request posting of lost, found or wandering pets.
• Gather the required information needed to create a useful post on the page.
• Copy the information and photos provided.
• Do basic photo cropping or editing if necessary.
• Post the information to our Facebook page.
• Update the post, as information comes in, to keep the post current.
• Review comments on posts to keep things polite and respectful, moderating as needed.
• When possible, match up lost and found posts, contacting the possible owner.
• Provide information we have available that will help owners and finders.
• Provide encouragement. A missing pet is an emotional time.
• Cover one or more 2-hour shifts. (maximum of 4)
