RASKC seeks adult volunteers who are very committed to positive dog-training and who are skilled with a wide range of large, untrained and very energetic dogs, especially pit bull terriers and mixes, on Wednesdays, 4- 6pm.
This is an exhilarating and deeply fulfilling experience, albeit arduous, using your dog-savvy skills to help some of the most vulnerable dogs in King County.
Keys to success with RASKC dogs: kindness, positive reinforcement, and the ability to skillfully get dogs in/out of the kennel area quickly so they can enjoy fresh air outside!
Typically you would share a shift with two or three other volunteers.
Dog walkers are color-coded according to the type of dog they are eligible to walk.
. Green: Most Dog Walkers start as color "green" are eligible to work with our friendliest dogs.
. Blue: Dog Walkers who are assessed as "blue" are eligible to take out the shy dogs and the friendly dogs.
. Red: Dog Walkers who are identified as "red" are eligible to walk any of the adoptable dogs, including the ones that need skillful handling.
RASKC needs "red" Dog Walkers.
