Trick or Treat!

How about boDSC02257 (3)th? Washington Humane Society (WHS) dogs are celebrating Halloween with special homemade treats created by a WHS team of volunteer trainers. The treats on which they’ll be feasting are crunchy apples and carrots, meaty marrow bones and sweet, gooey marshmallows. The trick is that in order to get to these delicious delicacies, the dogs have to first lick their way through a block of frozen chicken broth in order to access the yummy treats hidden inside. 

This is just one of the many activities of STEPs, WHS’s Shelter Training and Enrichment Programs. Volunteer trainers work with our shelter dogs to teach them basic manners and provide activities that enrich their lives during their shelter stay. If you’re interested in becoming a STEPs volunteer, contact us at volunteer@washhumane.org.

Happy Halloween!
