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."

GEORGIA spayed female, Breed: Border Collie/Pitmix
1 yr apprx 50 lbs Adoption Fee: $350 Gets along well with many dogs, Water Dog!
Georgia is a young, smart, energetic dog. She has been working with the youth here and learning all sorts of manners. She is good at politely waiting at doorways, learning better leash skills, and loves to show off her tricks. Georgia is the kind of dog who can make training look effortless.
In playgroups Georgia is very adaptable to different play styles. She can play chase, romp, and wrestle, though she does love to play gladiators with fellow POOCH dog Viola. Georgia can greet over enthusiastically at times, so sometimes needs support to stay calm so she doesn’t overwhelm shy potential friends. However, her social skills make her an excellent intro for new dogs into the playgroups.
During spring sunshine we pulled out the pools and Georgia had a BLAST running through them and playing with the water from the hose. We have no doubt that she would be a star on the trails, through creeks and streams. This girl is MADE for Oregon adventures, from the coast to the mountains, she would love to be your companion!
