Volunteers Needed – July 29-31, 2022

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

Hi, friends!
Happy summer time! As we’ve grown to look forward to, our musical freestyle show is happening this summer! We’re finally to a point where it’s ideally safe enough to have spectators again, so we’d love to see you all! We’d also love even more if you could swing by and help us out by volunteering! We need: a timer (best role if you want an uninhibited view of the show!), a gate steward, some leash runners, and a floating helper! Descriptions of each role can be found on the link below, but you’re also welcome to reach out to Ashley with any questions. We could also use some help with set up on the Friday before! Our dates are: Friday, July 29 for set up, then July 30 and 31 for the actual show! We would love to see you there!

PLEASE NOTE: We really need you to sign up on the website to help keep track of things! Unless it’s the Friday set up, please avoid just showing up and expecting a certain role. We’re still happy to give you something to do, but please try to give us a warning that you’re coming, especially if you have specific role needs!

Have you not tried the sport of Earthdog but are curious if you and your dog would love it? 
Have you wanted to try but didn’t know how to get involved?
Are you a seasoned Earth dog aficionado?
Do you need a few volunteer hours?
If you answered “Yes”, to any of the above questions, GCDOC Earthdog Committee wants YOU!  
We would love for you to join our Earthdog Committee!  We are URGENTLY looking for a few members who are available Oct. 29 and 30 to be present at the GCDOC Earthdog Trials in Dayton, Ohio.  If we don’t get a few more members the Trails cannot go on due to AKC requirements.   The work will be a blast and not very physically demanding.  Plus you will learn a lot about the sport and earn volunteer hours!
Please help Earthdog at GCDOC survive and thrive! If you ever considerd Earthdog before, now is the time to do it.  No prior Earthdog experience necessary.

Volunteers needed for FAST CAT – 6/24 – 6/26

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

We could use a few helpers with the FAST CAT tests at K9 Splash Zone on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the weekend 06/24, 06/25, 06/26.  Hours are 07-12 and 12- around 4.  We need people to help release dogs (not for the faint of heart), check in dogs (for the most part a sit down job) and help in the catch pen.  Need to stay focused and be able to communicate with exhibitors.   If you are running, we can move your time to a worker slot and if you wish, you can run your dog first thing in the am.  Or, if you want to wait you can run in your slot.  This is a really fun event.  So we hope you can join us.
