My personality

My story

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

Tod is available through Project POOCH. If you are interested in adoption, learn more and submit an application at pooch.org/tod

Oh—Hi. I’m Tod. I’m still learning how to be a dog, and I could use a little bit of help when I get stuck in new situations. But I promise to pay you back with sweet snuggles, playful bounces, and looks of adoration.

Tod doesn’t have much experience being your average dog. A lot of what we encounter with our dogs out and about is new to him. He has learned about collars and leashes, and knows his harness means it’s time for walks. He has even started to figure out how to play with toys.

For his people, Tod will melt like butter for affection. He is a bit leaner and likes to curl up with his friends. He finds comfort in the people he trusts and has been showing off what a silly boy he can be.

While it might take a little bit of time for him to settle in with new people, he rewards that patience by sharing his true personality. Tod might never be a beer garden, patio seating, cafe dog, but he is a great companion who would love to hear all about the books you’ve been reading or join you on binging the newest season of that show you love.

If you’re looking for a good companion, Tod might just need you to give him a chance to show you how awesome he can be. He just needs someone with a little patience and persistence to help him shine. Tod might benefit from continued training to build confidence and your relationship with him.

Notable things:
Unsure in novel situations.
Build relationship and rapport with him
Continued training for confidence-building
Cuddly. Sweet, enjoying learning about the world

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.
