    Description

    🐾 Volunteer as a Dog Walker — Give Our Dogs Exercise, Socialization & Their Best Chance at Adoption!

    At Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue, our teen and adult dogs need more than just a spot at adoption events — they need movement, interaction, and the chance to show their amazing personalities. That's where Dog Walkers make all the difference.

    🐶 What You'll Do

    • Fit dogs with harnesses and "adopt me" vests to get them ready for their big day
    • Walk dogs around the store, giving them vital exercise and helping them stay calm and happy during events
    • Facilitate socialization with potential adopters and the public, letting each dog's unique personality shine
    • Set up event kennels with proper labeling so fosters can easily transition dogs from cars to their designated spaces
    • Assist with end-of-event loading to ensure all remaining dogs get safely back to their foster homes

    📍 Where & When

    • Where: PetCo, 4100 E. Colorado Blvd., Denver (weekly) and PetSmart, 10600 Melody Drive, Northglenn (a few times a month)
    • When: Saturdays, 12:00–3:00 pm (3-hour commitment)

    ❤️ Why This Role Matters Adoption events can be overwhelming for dogs who've been waiting in kennels or foster homes. Your walks provide crucial exercise that helps them release energy and anxiety, while socialization opportunities let potential families see them at their best. A well-exercised, confident dog is much more likely to make that magical connection with their future family. You're not just walking dogs — you're giving them their best shot at finding forever homes.
