My story

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

Are you the quiet type? Low traffic home, hang out in the yard, have soft things to lay on? If so, you just might be the match for Fozzy! Fozzy is a shepherd mix who is about 2 years old and weighs in at 69.1 lbs. He is a sensitive fella who will appreciate patience from his new guardian(s) while he gets comfortable in his new home with new people.

Your patience will be rewarded with a playful fella who loves his toys and snuggling up to his stuffed animals. Fozzy really loves being outside, so bonus points for having a fenced yard with a deck or patio with an outdoor dog bed for him to lay on while enjoying the scenery. Fozzy walks really nicely on his leash and enjoys his walking adventures. He is a bit too interested in cats though, so a home without them would be best. Fozzy has become much more confident in his time at POOCH and will be looking to continue that in his forever home. Fozzy is neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his vaccinations. Kids 16+, no cats.

Likes: Being outside. Hanging out with people. Sniffy walks.

Dislikes: Cats.

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.
