Walk with your dog and keep your neighborhood safe at the same time! The Busan Dog Petrol (a combination of “pet” and “patrol”) program is recruiting new participants until May 10. Regardless of nationality, any adult resident of Jung-gu, Seo-gu, Yeongdo-gu, Buk-gu, Gangseo-gu, or Gijang-gun whose dog is officially registered may apply.
This initiative turns your daily dog walk into a community safety patrol. Last year, Busan Dog Petrol volunteers completed 13,514 rounds and helped make the city safer by identifying and reporting damaged infrastructure and potential hazards.
Due to its success and growing public interest, the program is expanding this year to cover every district in the city. It is currently seeking volunteers for the newly added areas.
Applicants will undergo a two-stage selection process: An initial document screening followed by a practical assessment that tests a dog’s responsiveness to commands and their behavior toward external stimuli.
