My story

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

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

Hey, hi, hello! I’m Viola! I’m so cute to help you get over the fact that I am an eager, exuberant puppy. I love to play, play, play, and am learning how to do so without chewing on my friends (four-legged and two)! My friends say I’m really smart and good at learning. Maybe you can help teach me new things?

Viola has been learning a lot at POOCH and her handlers say that she is really good on leash, though we are still working on distractions. As with any puppy, we are continually working on polite greetings and appropriate play styles. She is very food-motivated and wants to participate in training, but does best with a handler who stays engaged with her. Viola is not a puppy you can bring home and expect to be a relaxed, calm dog.

When going on adventures, Viola would love to be included! She is a brave girl who is gaining confidence in the world. If you’re looking for a buddy to join your adventures, she would be an excellent choice. Continue building her confidence, and you’ll have an amazing hiking partner as she has the energy to get up and go, but can settle for the drive back home.

Like any puppy, Viola would benefit from continued training classes as she grows. Not only will that help her in her ‘teenage’ phase, but it can help a bond form! She could possibly blossom in dog sports or be a trick champion, but needs a partner to do so. If you’re looking for a couch potato, she is probably not the puppy you need.

Youth insight:
She has pretty eyes and her nose is so cute
When she settles down she is a really good cuddler.

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.
