Donations – why do we need them?

Spaying and neutering all the dogs is our major expense. Donations also help to buy collars, leashes, brushes and dog shampoo, vitamins, dog food (canned and dry), blankets, towels, and cleaning supplies.

Although Project POOCH rents kennel space at a state facility, we do not receive government funding so individual support is essential to our program. Any donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference! Project POOCH is a 501c(3) non-profit program, and your donation is tax-deductible.

Volunteer

We welcome professionals willing to share their expertise as veterinarians, groomers, trainers and presenters. The construction and remodeling of the K-9 building was done by building trades students under the direction of their instructor, Fred Mitchell. The youths look forward to speakers and have learned so much from representatives of the Police K-9 unit, Guide Dogs for the Blind, and Dog Search and Rescue, just to name a few of the groups who have visited.

We also need volunteers to help with fund-raising, to help mail newsletters, to write grants, to represent Project POOCH at events, etc.. The youth appreciate receiving instruction on how to create products to sell to benefit the program, and getting business advice on ways to market their products.

If you are willing to volunteer, here is our volunteer application form in two convenient formats:

• VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM in PDF format. (Adobe Reader required - Click here to download for free.)
• VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM in MS Word format.

Project POOCH:
Paving the Way to a Brighter Future

Help Project POOCH to provide opportunities for youths in corrections to learn patience, responsibility and compassion for all life through working with dogs.

The pathway to the new meditation garden at Project POOCH will be lined with pavers etched with personal messages from friends and supporters like you, who see the good that comes from bringing together sometimes forgotten young men and often overlooked shelter dogs.

For a gift of $100, your 4”x 8” paver will be inscribed and displayed at Project POOCH for years to come. Remember a loved one or beloved pet. Honor a friend or family member. Send words of support and encouragement to the young men at Project POOCH. Click the picture at the left to download an order form.
