"ROCKY" 23 lb CUTIE!!! *Tri-color*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."

ROCKY neutered male, Breed: Chihuahua/Pittie Mix  APPROX 4 yrs 23 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.

**Rocky came into POOCH with his brother Bullwinkle. 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 great separate as well.*

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