KOIN Channel 6 (Portland, Oregon) story on Project POOCH, which has reached the Final Four of Rachael Ray's Mutt Madness online competition at http://www.rachaelray.com/pets/muttmadness/index.php. Every week the public votes on their favorite shelters in a bracket-style competition based on NCAA March Madness brackets; top prize is $50,000, second prize $25,000.

Need a good reason to vote for POOCH? How about the fact that in the over fifteen years POOCH has been in operation, not only has it turned so many death-row dogs into wonderful family pets, but has helped incarcerated youth to learn patience, responsibility and compassion for all life through working with dogs.
