Northwest Dog Project (NWDP) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit in Eugene, OR, established in August 2014. We are dedicated to rescuing, re-homing and enhancing the lives of neglected, abused, and homeless dogs, while promoting responsible pet ownership in the Northwest and beyond.

Northwest Dog Project carefully rescues dogs facing euthanasia, to no fault of their own, and welcomes them into the program until they're healthy, well evaluated, trained, socialized and ready for their forever homes. We are also happy to help local owner-surrendered dogs provided that the dog meets our intake criteria and if space is available.

Our charming, barn-like facility sits on 20+ acres of forest land on the outskirts of Eugene, where staff and volunteers host daily training and socialization sessions. Our dogs get at least a 40-minute daily hike, and of course, so much love. We've rescued and re-homed over 400 dogs since our doors opened in 2014.

Northwest Dog Project is also known for taking on dogs with specialized medical cases which don't stand a chance of making it out of shelters, and we have a special fund dedicated to saving these dogs.

We have a diverse group of rescue dogs waiting to be adopted. NWDP is not a breed specific rescue, but we do have a special spot for the bully type breeds.

Northwest Dog Project is committed to the connectivity and longevity of our forever home placements. We provide a lifetime of support to our adopters and the dogs that grace our program.
