Joan Dalton, MST, Founder & Executive Director
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 for over a decade.
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 an increased compassion and respect for all life.
Call 503-982-4492 or
send an email for an appointment to visit the dogs,
or see them on the web here.
Project POOCH is entirely supported by private donations. If you want to contribute, you can make a tax deductible
