"KIMCHI" "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."

"KIMCHI" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at PROJECT POOCH"

ASPHALT neutered male, Breed: Chihuahua mix   

APPROX 1-2 yrs, 6 lbs  Adoption fee $350

*gets along with many other dogs (meet and greet required)

*loves his people 

I have a big personality wrapped up in a VERY small body! I just want to be treated like a big dog, who can adventure, and run, and jump. If you’re looking for that full-sized mentality in a fun-size package, we might be a match! 

Asphalt is a silly, adventurous, playful little dude. He is his own character and has charmed many of the youth into adoring him. At only 6 lbs, Asphalt rewrites expectations that small dogs are only purse dogs. He joins in on the walks and is a good partner to strut with. The youth are perfecting his leash manners, and he continues to learn more each day. He is incredibly treat-motivated and learns quickly. He's been working on adding to his trick list while at POOCH and would love to show them off to you! (If you're looking for a pint-sized dog to show up the big dogs in the trick department, Asphalt could be a great fit for you.)

Due to his small stature, Asphalt is looking for an adopter who will respect his autonomy and get consent before attempting to pick him up or leash him. He is not likely to be a dog who wants to be carted around, as there is much of the world to explore. When asked, and he consents, he is ok with being picked up for short periods of time, but quickly wants to return to the ground to blaze his own path. 

We have found that he needs someone who will give him time to warm up and get comfortable before reaching out to him. With some trial and error, we have found some successful meet and greet protocols that help him put his best paw forward to make new friends. 

He does best with a longer meet and greet, if not multiple. It is also likely that he will need to visit your home to build more positive associations before staying overnight. If you are willing to do that, he might be your best friend!

Because of his small size and his desire for humans to move slowly with him, a home with small children would not be a good fit.

Special Considerations

• Children: Asphalt is very small so he would not necessarily do well in a home with rambunctious children who couldn’t respect his space. Children in the home should be 12 or older.

• Other Dogs: Asphalt likes some dogs, but would not do well with a large, pushy dog. He can hold his own against a medium (25#) sized dog, but it requires the other dog to be respectful of the boundaries that Asphalt sets.

Meet Pippa, a sweet, gentle girl with a big heart who is ready to find her forever family! 🐾 Though she's a newcomer to the shelter, this lovely large mixed-breed girl is already making fast friends with everyone she meets. Pippa walked like a total dream on her leash right from the kennel, and the moment she stepped inside the room, her affectionate side shone through-she immediately began soliciting pets, leaning in close, and soaking up all the love. Pippa is as clever as she is sweet, already knowing how to sit on cue and taking treats with the gentlest manners. She did show a little curious tall-dog curiosity with some counter surfing, but she redirects easily with just a kind word and a tasty snack. If you're looking for a loyal, friendly companion to share cozy cuddles and daily strolls, Pippa is ready to trade shelter life for a warm spot in your heart and home! 🐶❤️

Meet Jack! 🐾💙 Jack is a sweet, sensitive young boy with a gentle soul and a big heart that is just waiting for the right person to help him bloom. The world can feel a little overwhelming to Jack right now, and he often feels nervous in new environments. But beneath his fearful exterior, Jack truly longs for connection. Even when he is feeling unsure, you can see how much he wants to engage-watching with hopeful eyes, taking small, brave steps forward to say hello, and quietly asking for reassurance. Jack needs a calm, patient, and understanding home that will let him go at his own speed. With a predictable routine, gentle encouragement, and tasty treats, Jack's confidence will blossom into the loyal, devoted friendship he is so eager to give. If you have a soft spot for the bashful ones and believe the most rewarding bonds are built through patience and trust, Jack is ready to find his safe haven with you. 🏡✨
