BACK ISSUES

Kudos sent to Duke's handler

DUKE with his POOCH handler.

POOCH YOUTH are deeply invested in the dogs they care for and train. Here are some excerpts from a letter written by an adopter to J.L. about the yellow lab he trained:

“...Let me first begin by telling you that I have never had a dog with such an incredible personality. I often forget that he is a dog and have long conversations with him...

I won't lie and say that the adjustment has been easy ...when I had to go to work, he climbed up on a patio table and jumped over the fence... The next day, he broke down the backyard fence ...he opened the refrigerator door and helped himself to a steak and a tub of butter... That was his first week and I am sure he had separation anxiety and just didn't know where he fit in.

My other dog, Buddy, and Duke play all the time. Buddy is determined that he is the alpha dog, and Duke is perfectly fine with that...

So far, all of my friends who have met Duke think that he is beautiful and just a great dog. They don't know the half of it, he is an incredible dog...I have had great dogs, but none like Duke...Bless you...for giving this dog a chance in the world...”
