This Week’s Charity is: NorthWest Dog Project
Northwest Dog Project is a non-profit organization located in Eugene, Oregon. We are so excited to share with the world our passion and dream of helming dogs and the people who love them. We are dedicated to rescuing, training, and re-homing, homeless, unwanted, neglected, and abused dogs. We are also devoted to creating strong bonds within our community and we are very excited about the programs Northwest Dog Project is going to be offering for the community as we grow as an organization! We cannot wait for the adventures to come and the many friends, both dog and human, that we will meet along the way.
As a family we follow Roofus & Kilo on Facebook and all I can say is that the work they are doing is beyond amazing and they have hearts of gold. Watching the dogs come into rescue and then watching how they get ready and adapted to find their forever home is heartwarming and rewarding! Now all we need is about 50 of these in each state!
List of Charities Down The Hole Had Donated To:

Those mugs would be perfect for the coffe bar in my “brand new” farmhouse kitchen, as the colors I’ve chose are blue and white. They’re just fabulous! (I’m canadian but I’m willing tu pay shiping and duty fees…) Thanks!

Being a long time supporter of the Animal Rescue site I annually send an email to all my contacts reminding them to “click”. However for my non animal friends I remind them there are 8 other sites to click on and it takes a less than a minute to hit all. Hunger, breast cancer, diabetes, rainforests, veterans etc. You will find them all at the top of the page that comes up after you click each time
Happy Weekend, Andrea. Thank you for all of the cool linkage and heartfelt thoughts…and the uber cool Anthropologie muggage. You have great taste. Cheers, Ardith
Hi, Andrea! I was clicking on some of the links and didn’t even notice that the blog I clicked on was the Magnolia website, but I saw the first photo of a ‘before’ and ‘after’ house and said, ‘looks like a Joanna Gaines redo’ which I dearly love, and it was! Wow she knows what she’s doing, alrighty! I’ve never appreciated anyones taste as much as I do the ‘Fixer Upper’ style!
I always look forward to this posting on Saturday! Love the links and the whole idea of it.
Love your blog and love the charity you are supporting this week!! Dogs are one of the most amazing creates on earth! Thanks for all you do:)

Wouldn’t you just love to be friends with Chip and Joanna? That kitchen! I love that bag! So cool that it’s reverable! Thanks!
I love that you are a charity mind it! If you ever run out of Charities… Like that’s ever going to happen! I’d like to recommend Heart of a Hero. Ricky Mena is a guy who dresses up as Spider-Man and visits children in the hospital or in their homes. He also speaks to elementary school children about bullying. He has an amazing Ministry / charity. You can go to his Facebook page to learn about what he does. He’s pretty amazing! Thanks exclamation point
