Doberman Chat Rescue Portal
Cross Post form pitbull-chat/Amended by VonDoom
Im sure by now most of you have seen the new Donation Bar at the top of the forum home and index pages, Asking for Donations to purchase software that will give us the ability to create an easily updatable Doberman Rescue Database.
Overview: In appreciation of all the hard work and dedication rescue groups and volunteers commit to the Doberman breed, Doberman Chat will be launching a database for rescue groups to enter their adoptable dogs.
Through this database, rescue groups can create, manage and customize their own categories in order to suit their needs. A main customization option for both categories and entries added by a rescue group is the ability to add modules to certain pages. A few of these modules includes a calendar that links to rescue dogs added by the rescue group on a certain day, a category listings module to show categories created by the rescue group in new locations, a guest book, list of rescue dogs that the rescue group has marked as favorite, custom links and much more.
Categories created by rescue groups virtually become the rescue group's own mini-website for listing their adoptable dogs (much like PetFinder) with customization options. Compared to PetFinder, Doberman Chat's database is more user-friendly, provides optimal organization and targets relevant, local search engine traffic to provide increased exposure for both the dogs and rescue group.
Members of Doberman Chat are able to comment to entered rescue dogs in order to gain additional information, communicate with the rescue group about the dog or simply wish the adoptable dog well in the search for a home. Comments to rescue dogs in user created categories can be moderated (edited\deleted) by the rescue group or comments may be disabled completely in their category if desired.
We welcome all rescues to join our community and participate in our rescue database. Add your adoptable dogs to our database and gain more exposure to both your rescue and your dogs.
This is all currently in the works for DCF and already implemented on our affiliate site Pit Bull Chat, With great success.
Doberman Chat does not ask for Donations to cover our increasing bandwidth costs, hosting Service, domain registration, and maintenance costs.
But thought that by offering up a donation system for this softwares licensing fee, Our community would benifit by workng together and taking a small part in this effort to get Doberman Chat one step closer to what this forum is about, Helping out the Doberman Population especially the ones that need it the most. Once we have reached our goal the donation bar will disappear.
Regards,
The Doberman Chat team.
