  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

Interested in adopting me?

Animals available for adoption in foster homes need a special questionnaire submitted. From there, we will make an initial appointment for a phone consult to discuss their needs, and then schedule a meet and greet. Appointments are set on a first-come first-served basis in the order that we receive the questionnaires.

Meet Pepita, a vibrant and affectionate young pitbull mix who is a true social butterfly with people! 👋 This happy-go-lucky girl will greet you with a relaxed body and a fast, whipping tail, and she absolutely loves to zoom around the yard and engage in play. 🐕💨 While Pepita can start her walks with some excited pulling, she quickly settles into a beautiful stroll and is fantastic at tuning out other barking dogs. 🐾 In doggie social settings, she is more on the polite and tolerant side rather than a rowdy player, preferring to comfortably parallel walk with calm canine buddies. Because Pepita takes her mealtime seriously and has shown that she prefers to protect her food bowl from other dogs, she may thrive best as the only pet or in a home where she can be fed separately in her own peaceful space. 🥣✨

"VIOLA" gorgeous, active, fun CATAHOULA mix "PROJECT POOCH"

 

"Little miss Viola has been available for adoption since February, but hasn’t had a lot of interest. This girl is a kennel favorite and so SMART. She’s a blast to work with and will brighten any home she is in! Learn more about her and how to adopt at pooch.org/viola 

   Project POOCH, quite simply, changes lives. We operate a kennel inside a youth correctional facility and pair currently incarcerated youth with shelter dogs. The youth learn kennel management, positive reinforcement, grooming, and training techniques. The youth learn what it means to be depended on by another living creature and what it means to be trusted and relied upon. And, they learn what unconditional love feels like—sometimes for the first time. Our dogs get trained, loved, and adopted into their forever homes. There is no limit to the amount of time a dog spends in our care, and we are focused on the individual needs of each dog."

If you are interested in making a donation, learning more about our mission, volunteering, upcoming events, or details about adoptable dogs, call our office at 503-697-0623. If you get our voicemail, please leave a detailed message. We often cannot answer the phone as we are working with the pups, but we can call you right back!

If you need to schedule an adoption appointment, please review the adoption information page first and then email us at adopt@pooch.org or call us at 503-697-0623. 

  "VIOLA" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at PROJECT POOCH"

www.pooch.org 

Hey, hi, hello! I’m Viola! I’m so cute to help you get over the fact that I am an eager, exuberant puppy. I love to play, play, play, and am learning how to do so without chewing on my friends (four-legged and two)! My friends say I’m really smart and good at learning. Maybe you can help teach me new things? 
Viola may love the sun, but her pink skin does not, so she comes inside when the sun is the highest.

 


VIOLA spayed female, Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog / Pitbull Mix, 

11 months 45 lbs    Adoption Fee: $350

Gets along well with many other dogs (meet & greet is required) 

Will go home with a leash, harness, toys, a bed, two monthly doses of flea/tick/heartworm medication (value: $60), and a week’s worth of food 

Special Considerations

  • Needs an adopter who is willing to continue training her. Viola is a puppy and while we have started her training, she needs consistency and continued work.

  • Needs an adopter who is active. She will need walks and play, and someone who wants to give her time and energy.

Viola has been learning a lot at POOCH and her handlers say that she is really good on leash, though we are still working on distractions. As with any puppy, we are continually working on polite greetings and appropriate play styles. She is very food-motivated and wants to participate in training, but does best with a handler who stays engaged with her. Viola is not a puppy you can bring home and expect to be a relaxed, calm dog. 

When going on adventures, Viola would love to be included! She is a brave girl who is gaining confidence in the world. You should see her rock the obstacles in our training center! If you’re looking for a buddy to join your adventures, she would be an excellent choice. Continue building her confidence, and you’ll have an amazing hiking partner as she has the energy to get up and go, but can settle for the drive back home.

Like any puppy, Viola would benefit from continued training classes as she grows. Not only will that help her in her ‘teenage’ phase, but it can help a bond form! She could possibly blossom in dog sports or be a trick champion, but needs a partner to do so.

Youth insight:

  • She has pretty eyes and her nose is so cute

  • When she settles down she is a really good cuddler.
