Saving incarcerated youth one dog at a time, since 1993.

Volunteer shout out! Chris is the manager of the Starbucks across the street from our Outreach office. I went in one day wearing my "I heart Project POOCH" shirt and he immediately wanted to know more. After I told him more about the program, his first response was, "how can I help?". I walked out of the store that day with goodies to use in raffle baskets, and we've since partnered with him for many other events! He joined us in October to serve puppuccinos at the Killer Pumpkin Fest, and his store does "Sticker Days" where they feature adoptable dogs on a sticker and put them on all the cups they hand out. Chris embodies a "helpful neighbor" and is always looking for ways to help others. He even nominated Project POOCH for a grant through the @Starbucks Foundation earning $1000.00 in support for shelter dogs and incarcerated youth!
Snaps for Chris. Like and comment to share the love for Chris, our friendly neighborhood Starbucks Manager, or stop in for a drink! #StarbucksFoundation #friendlyneighborhoodstarbucksmanager #snapsforchris

"I'm going home!" Happy adoption day Moana 🙂 Moana's new family had greyhounds in the past and were looking for another sight hound since they had loved the breed. When they saw her photo online they were in love! Moana gains a new human brother and a family full of love. Join us in congratulating Moana on finding her people!

Bath time for Rose!
POOCH youth are taught how to groom various kinds of dogs during their time at POOCH, which makes for an excellent resume should they want to pursue dog grooming after MacLaren. Rose is also still looking for her forever home! Give our kennel a call at 503-981-2570 to meet this good girl.

"My son was at MacLaren 20 years ago, and he was in the POOCH program, and I want to tell you he is doing so well. He has a job, and three beautiful children, and life is good.

Sweet Rose is still available for adoption! This two and a half year old greyhound Shepard mix is having a hard time finding her forever home. While she loves the youth and kennel staff, she is shy with strangers which makes it hard for her to connect with anyone. She needs a home with devoted humans who are willing to meet her where she’s at. She does great on walks and loves other dogs! Pooch family can you help us find her a home?? Please share with your friends and family.
