    Description

    Help bring out best * challenging dog *  in your home * temp basis (RASKC foster)

    Do you love dogs?

    Do you feel skilled and excited about the possibility of helping bring out the best in an adorable dog in your home for a sweetie who has shown some naughty behaviors at the shelter?

    If so, consider foster a dog from RASKC on a temporary basis. RASKC will provide free food and supplies, in addition- upon request- interactive dog training via Zoom at no cost to you.

    So many dogs reveal their true selves in a home environment, where they can relax and feel the love as preparation for adoption in the foster home or to a new adopter.

    If the situation does not work out as hoped, it is fine to return the animal to the shelter.

    Next steps:

    1. Engage in the online training on RASKC's website. Go to www.kingcounty.gov/RASKCVolunteer, then scroll down to the Get Involved section and click on the plus sign (+). Watch the foster modules and complete the quizzes.

    2. One adult in your household completes an initial online application- www.tinyurl.com/RASKC-Vol-Apply

    3. The adult who completes the online application also completes an online liability waiver- https://tinyurl.com/DocuSign4RASKC

    Share your love and have fun as a foster parent to a canine sweetie who needs your kindnesses and guidance.

    Thanks for considering this possibility.
