Project POOCH is a win/win program for both the youths and the dogs. The youths learn responsibility, compassion, consistency, patience,
trust and love from the dogs, while the dogs learn clicker obedience training, consistency, fun, trust and love as well.
The dogs leave the program happy, healthy and ready to be great house pets. The young men leave the program ready to re-enter the
community with new job skills, greater ability to express compassion, and increased sense of confidence.

How to Adopt a POOCH
THE FIRST STEP in adopting one of our pooches is to complete and submit our
ADOPTION APPLICATION.
Next we will arrange a meeting between your family and the dog, either at the kennels in Woodburn, or in your home.
On a second visit, if our mutual schedules allow, you may be invited to keep the dog overnight, and if that visit goes well, then
for a few days. If you and the dog are a good match, we will complete the adoption.
Since people sometimes change their minds about a dog, Project POOCH considers a dog “available for adoption”
until a submitted application has been received and approved. Final approval typically occurs only after the home visit.
During the visit, Project POOCH gives you plenty of time to decline the dog if it doesn't fit well with your family or lifestyle.
It is our goal to find these dogs their “forever” homes and we recognize that you need time to consider your
decision to adopt carefully and to think seriously about the many responsibilities that go along with pet ownership.
Project POOCH stays in close touch with all of our adopters, both as you move through the adoption process and after the
adoption. We love these dogs as our own and want the very best for them. We will support them, and you, in any way we can.
