Project POOCH, Inc.®
2630 N. Pacific Highway
Woodburn, OR 97071 - Kennel visit
Call Project POOCH, 503-982-4492, to make an appointment to meet the dogs. Driving Directions to the Project POOCH kennels at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn, Oregon. - Home visit
JOAN DALTON, Director, or ADAM BERGIN, Kennel Supervisor, will schedule a home visit to be sure that you can provide an appropriate environment for a dog. - Trial visit
You and the dog you want will have an overnight or weekend visit to "see how it goes." (Like having a date, before you agree to go steady.) - Fee
There is an adoption fee of $195, a very good value since your dog comes to you with all shots, neutered/spayed, micro-chipped, and with basic obedience training.
Please Note: To hold a dog, Project POOCH charges a $50 non-refundable deposit which includes the home visit fee. If the dog is adopted, the $50 will be credited toward the $195 adoption fee.
