"Winter's chill doesn't just nip at human noses," according to Points North magazine, which ran a blurb in its December issue about an organization in Roswell, Georgia, called "HOMES TO HOWL FOR" that is collecting dog houses for outdoor dogs that need shelter.
For the second year now, they are collecting new and gently-used doghouses and dogloos, as well as other doggie items, such as water pails, harnesses, collars, chew toys and more. Click here for a flyer! Donations are tax-deductible.
"Homes to Howl For" collect doghouses throughout the year and delivers them to dogs in need during the winter. Based in Cobb County, Georgia, they have also placed doghouses in Barrow, Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Dekalb, Forsyth and Fulton counties. They placed 50 doghouses in 2006! For a history of the organization and how they work, please click here.
Additionally, if you are in need of a doghouse or shelter for your outdoor dog, you can call to put in a request.
Please click here to visit the Homes to Howl For website! Or you can call (770) 993-5643 for more information or email them at homeforthehowlidays@yahoo.com. ["Homes to HOWL for" is a project of Pasado's Safe Haven, a national animal rescue and advocacy group located in Washington State, http://www.pasadosafehaven.org/.]

Hi, Gayle! It seems to be taking off, simply by word of mouth. I read the article in a local magazine, called them up and offered to put them in our blog. They were very pleased! I hope we end up helping by giving them free publicity!
Hi, Gina! I'm going to email you right now with all the contact information for the organization - I'm sure they would appreciate your support.

What a great idea! By promoting this you are also providing education to those who need to understand that dogs do need shelter from the elements.
Keep up the good work.
