"ALLY" **CUTIE** young DOODLE 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."

ALLY spayed female, Breed: DOODLE

APPROX 1 yr 35 lbs  should be only dog in home...LOVES people

 

 Ally is a loving girl, she definitely is social with all of her friends. Her signature greeting is to lean her face into your hand and stare lovingly up at you. She enjoys a nice cuddle and is content to lay next to us while we do office work, so maybe you need a work from home companion.

 

While we don’t know her history with toys, we’ve found Ally to be very bouncy and playful with all kinds of toys at POOCH. She bounds after toys and will play with them while still in a play bow. She also likes to bound around you in the yard, like you would expect from a deer. 

 

As much as Ally loves to play with people, she would much rather keep her distance from other dogs. She is not a dog park dog and shows signs of significant stress in the presence of other dogs without handler support. We are working on expanding her comfort zone so she can be successful on walks near other dogs without stress.

 

Ally is a smart girl, working on her basic cues and handling skills for a lifetime of grooming. She’s good on walks and loves spending time with the youth. She is just looking for a home of her own, with people of her own to love!

 

Youth insight:

• Good leash skills, she can adjust to different handlers

Special Considerations

• Ally has shown to be a little picky with her food in the kennel setting, like a true discerning lady. She has been enjoying Ollie dog fresh food and eats it with no problem.
