Our Shelter Scouts

Kerry Blue Terrier Foundation (KBTF) Shelter Scouts offer the first-tier safety net for Kerries in need by finding and identifying them impounded in shelters. The work of a Shelter Scout helps ensure that no Kerry falls through the cracks.

The Duties

Our Shelter Scouts

• Scan shelter web sites regularly to search for dogs that could be Kerries.
• Report their finding of a potential Kerry to their designated KBTF Rescue Coordinator or the Rescue Director immediately.
• Remain available to assist the KBTF Rescue Coordinator with any arrangements necessary to ID the dog and safeguard its well-being and recovery from the shelter. A Shelter Scout may be asked to communicate with the shelter, identify the dog’s breed, recover it from the shelter, transport it to a veterinarian, and possibly arrange boarding until the Rescue Coordinator can take control of the dog.

To Volunteer

If you are knowledgeable about the breed's structure and have an interest in volunteering as a Shelter Scout, please review our Shelter Scout Agreement and learn more about our Rescue Program. Then contact the KBTF Shelter Scout Coordinator:
