The facts on negotiations between Regional Animal Services and partner cities
Two years ago, King County in partnership with 26 cities and an energized corps of volunteers took a struggling animal care and control system and turned it around into a regional system that has earned respect across the nation. The success of this new model, dubbed Regional Animal Services of King County, or RASKC, depends […]
A message about “rogue bunnies” this Easter weekend
Stories about animals are always going to lend themselves to cute metaphors. Today’s headline in the Seattle Times is certainly cute, and made to order for Easter. But the headline is also misleading. The real cost to partner cities to house a rabbit, or any animal, at the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) Pet Adoption […]
Dogs taken in raid: Can you help?
Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) is working to care for 62 dogs after detectives from the King County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant on a home in Issaquah late Thursday night. An additional 38 dogs were found during the search of a Burien home. Animal services officers from RASKC were called in […]
It’s a “purr-fect” time to adopt a cat!
Summertime is kitten time at Regional Animal Services of King County. Because we don’t euthanize adoptable pets, space can get tight as litters from unaltered cats fill the cages. Now is a great time to find a feline who is looking for a new home. Through the month of August, RASKC has reduced the adoption […]
“Tails” from RASKC: Esme and Cooper2
As we wrap up our celebration of the first anniversary of Regional Animal Services of King County, our final “Tail” is actually a two-fer.

“Tails” from RASKC: Joey
We’re halfway through our series of pet stories to celebrate the first anniversary of Regional Animal Services of King County. Today’s “tail” comes from Leeanna Young. I brought Joey home two years ago from your Kent animal shelter. He was shy and thin for a male Australian Cattle Dog (ACD). Joey also has a bit of […]
“Tails” from RASKC: Luckie, Bandit, and Parker
Today’s “tail” comes from Joyce Moore-Short, a volunteer at the Kent shelter. She has taken home not one, not two, but THREE dogs from the shelter! We are so lucky to have great volunteers like Joyce. Back in April of 2009, we lost our beautiful one-year-old terrier mix Angel to a tragic accident. After waiting […]
