"BULLWINKLE" 25 lb*low-rider with Gym bod* CHIHUAHUA/PITTIE mix "PROJECT POOCH"

 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."

 "BULLWINKLE" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at PROJECT POOCH"

BULLWINKLE neutered male, Breed: Chihuahua/Pittie Mix  APPROX 4 yrs 25 lb. **Loves People! *Loves toys!

Adoption Fee: $300 (if adopting both Rocky & Bullwinkle together: $450) 

"Hi! I’m a bit of a lowrider with a gym bod! I’m a lap connoisseur and I have yet to find a lap I didn’t like. I’ve got all sorts of tricks to show you, so come meet me today! "

"Ever wonder what a dachshund with a gym membership would look like? We think it might resemble Bullwinkle. This low rider is built solid so he can handle all the love you can bury him in.

If you’re looking for a dog who:

- loves people

- can make you laugh with his meerkat impression

- is content to stay home or head on an adventure

- settles and entertains himself when you’re busy

.. then Bullwinkle might be the dog for you!

At around 4/5 years old, Bullwinkle is a full adult, you can avoid puppy insanity!

**Bullwinkle came into POOCH with his brother Rocky. While we originally thought they were bonded, the brothers have shown us that they really enjoy solo time and aren’t keen on sharing a small space together. They might do OK being adopted out together, but we’ve found that they do good separate as well.*

All of our dogs are housed at our kennel in Woodburn, OR inside the MacLaren campus.

ROCKY neutered male, Breed: Chihuahua/Pittie Mix  APPROX 4 yrs 25 lb. **Loves People! 

 "Rocky has really blossomed at POOCH into an affectionate snuggly dude, who plays hard and rests hard! We think the working population could use him as a work/life balance coach.

Rocky’s tips for living your best life:

- every person you meet is a potential new best friend! Treat all of them with enthusiasm.

- play with abandon! Don’t be afraid to be silly and vocalize with your friends, friendly smack talk makes the games more fun!

- know when to take a break! Whether in the sunshine or a shady spot with a light breezy, lead by example and show everyone how to rest too.

-try something new with your friends, it might just be a BLAST.

Think you might need some one-on-one coaching? You could take this expert home to follow his example! Rocky is around 4 or 5 years old, so you don’t have to worry about that puppy insanity. You get a steady adult to join your family.

MACARENA #179707 spayed female, 2 yrs 1 mth 60 lbs. Breed: German Shepherd Dog $300

Here's what you need to know about me:

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

The Potato Puppies, our 7 week old shepherd-malamute mixes, would like to introduce a little chaos into your life. Living room too tidy? Shoes annoyingly where they should be? Let the Potato Puppies help. They'll happily rearrange your bookshelf while putting tiny holes in your toes.

Orphaned at just hours old, our team of volunteers worked very hard to bottle feed the potatoes. It took heaps of formula to get the puppies from kiwi sized to watermelon sized. We're pretty confident that our potatoes will be the biggest ones at the farmer's market - based on their DNA tests, they should be 60-80 pounds fully grown.

They have been dewormed and microchipped and are current on their vaccines. The puppies have been socialized to lots of people and lots of other dogs. 

It will be a requirement for the adopter of any Potato puppy to enroll in training. We weren’t kidding when we said they are chaos agents -just like every puppy ever. Thanks to the 15/10 Foundation, the puppies all come with a $500 training stipend! So really, there’s no reason NOT to take them to class.Have the time (and room) for one of our Potatoes?

adoption application

Popcorn, our 10 year old 13 pound poodle, loves to be comfy. Give the guy some blankets and he'll carefully arrange them to maximize luxury. Considering the state Popcorn was in when we met him, we don't blame him one bit.

Popcorn was found stray and was so matted that the shelter wasn't sure if he could see. We took Popcorn in and had to immediately shave him. We found multiple grass seeds imbedded in between toes, in his cheeks, even in his ear canals. Fortunately Popcorn's eyes were just fine; they had just been matted shut for a long time. The next step was to address Popcorn's teeth - he had many painfully infected ones. Now that he's recovered from multiple extractions and his haircut is growing out, Popcorn is finally feeling great.

In his foster home, Popcorn has been an easy keeper. He is housetrained and although he doesn't want to be in a kennel, Popcorn is respectful when left alone. He is great with other dogs; we have not see Popcorn with cats but could do an introduction if needed.

A bit timid, it can take Popcorn some time to warm up to new people. Once he does, he is affectionate and sweet. Popcorn is, like all of us, startled by being picked up suddenly. For that reason, we recommend older kids in Popcorn's home. He loves walks, cuddle sessions and sniffing around the yard.

Popcorn is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.

Popcorn is looking for someone to help him maintain the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed. This shouldn't be too hard - just some spare cushions and a periodic haircut. Think you're up for it?
