POOCH in the Pub November 20, 2008

You are invited to help support Project POOCH (www.POOCH.org) by attending POOCH in the Pub, a fun-filled evening at MacTarnahans Taproom on November 20th from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm at 2730 NW 31st Avenue in Portland! Your admission includes live music, food, 1 beer, and 5 raffle tickets. Bid generously on a huge assortment of auction items. For over 15 years, 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. Project POOCH matches youth incarcerated at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn, Oregon with abandoned or abused shelter dogs. The youth work with their dogs daily and practice the principles of positive reinforcement and behavior modification. As the youth manage their dogs, they learn how to manage their own behavior. Project POOCH teaches responsibility and trust while helping the young men build a better future. They provide the dogs with food, shelter, patience and basic obedience training. Once the dogs pass the Canine Good Citizens test, the youth help find the dogs forever, loving homes. Thank you for helping to make POOCH in the Pub a huge success!Admission: $30 in advance; $40 at the door. Go to our website www.poochinthepub.org to purchase tickets.
