Help The Pooch In The Pub
Dogster member Mckenna is very active with a great organization called Project Pooch. She asked if I would spread the word about them and their upcoming fundraiser, which has some great prizes. One is a trip to Hawaii, unfortunately only Oregon residents can enter for this prize, the rest of the auction is open to anyone.
Since 1993, Project POOCH has provided opportunities for youth in corrections to develop the skills needed to become productive community members while saving the lives of hundreds of unwanted shelter dogs. Kevin, a former Project POOCH youth states: “The sheer number of ways this program helps the participants are immeasurable. We face many obstacles when we get out into the community, such as having a record, trying to get a job and having to actually be a man responsible for bills. Project POOCH gives us the skills to be able to balance all of these things. The dogs provide a source of unconditional love.” Learn more details and what dogs are available for adoption at Project Pooch’s website.
