roject POOCH, Inc,^® is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization that has successfully paired youths incarcerated at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn, Oregon, with homeless shelter dogs since 1993.

Youths (guided by professionals) learn to train the dogs, groom them, and find them new adoptive "forever homes." The dogs leave the program ready to be great pets, while their trainers re-enter the community with new job and personal skills and increased compassion and respect for all life. Call 503-982-4492 or email to visit, or see the dogs on the web HERE.

Looking at doing some spring cleaning?

Want to get rid of that stuff that has been gathering dust around your house? Well consider donating it to Project POOCH!  We are looking at having a rummage sale this summer and would appreciate any thing that has been “gently used” from our donors.  Watch here and on Facebook for dates and times, and keep in mind that what is one person’s junk is another person’s treasure!
