Reading with Rover is a community-based literacy program volunteering in schools, bookstores and libraries in the Puget Sound area of Washington state. In the Rover Program, children with reading difficulties actually read stories to a dog, and the dog loves to listen! A child that may be hesitant to read aloud to his peers is typically less stressed when reading to a dog, and the dog never judges the child's reading ability.
Telephone Keith Davis at 253-987-5311 for anything other than a search callout (see below).
Search callout:
Northwest Disaster Search Dogs performs searches only under the call-out and direction of emergency or law enforcement service agencies. If you are a representative of such an agency and are interested in NDSD’s services, please contact Pierce County Department of Emergency Management at 253-798-7470 for call-out information.
Since the late 1960’s, search dogs have proven to be consistently useful in locating victims trapped beneath debris, mud and water. Their acute scenting ability allows a trained dog to detect and alert on human scent traveling through crevices and voids, as well as at the surface of water and mud. In 1992, experienced search dog trainers from several volunteer units around the Northwest formed Northwest Disaster Search Dogs (NDSD), a non-profit, 501(c)3, all-volunteer specialty unit focused on urban search and rescue.
