My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Olive & Lily are a bonded pair and their adoption fee is $450. They are microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed.

These two came to us because their previous owners died. When they arrived at POOCH, Olive was experiencing a skin issue, and her tummy and chest were bare, and she had a rash. We have worked with our vet and a pet food specialist to determine what was causing the issue. She is hypothyroid and will be on thyroid medication for the foreseeable future. Thankfully, this medication is low cost, and it is a relatively easy condition to treat. Her fur is growing back and she is looking like she feels a lot better!

She and Lily are very close and Olive often steps on her "sister," because she doesn't want to be too far from her. Olive is the more vocal and adventurous of the two. She walks well on a leash and we are working on her dog reactivity.

She's currently on FirstMate Fish kibble with a splash of goat's milk to help with her coat and potential allergies. She will likely need to stay on a special diet for the rest of her life.

Go meet their pets

Our pets reside inside MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility at 2630 N Pacific Highway, Woodburn, Oregon. All visits are by appointment ONLY. Since it is a correctional facility, all visitors must be on the guest list. When visiting, you can only bring in your keys and photo ID. All else must be left outside the gate.

More about this rescue

Project POOCH, Inc., provides opportunities for youth in corrections to develop the personal and vocational skills they will need to become responsible, productive members of the community. The program accomplishes this by teaching youth to care for and train shelter dogs for adoption.

We have successfully paired youth at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn with homeless dogs since 1993.
