Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) has opportunities for people who love animals and want to make a difference.

RASKC is seeking Eastside residents who would like to volunteer at the Eastside Pet Adoption Center at Kirkland’s Petco. The new location has grown into a favorite stop for prospective pet owners. Volunteers are needed at the Eastside center every day for two-hour shifts.

In addition, volunteer positions are available at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent, at adoption partner stores and offsite pet adoption events.

All volunteers are trained by staff and experienced volunteers.

A variety of jobs are available, from “kitty cuddler” to dog walker or shelter helper. Volunteers are expected to commit at least two hours a month for a minimum of six months.
