Ales for Tails is a benefit that helps Northwest Dog Project save dogs from euthanasia. The $5 entry fee at Ninkasi Brewing includes a free wine, beer or non-alcoholic beverage. There will be a silent auction and raffle as well as food from Hot Mama’s Wings and live music from local bands Loftän and Butterchuck. More than 50 items will be auctioned and more than 20 raffled. All proceeds go to the non-profit organization Northwest Dog Project, which depends solely on donations to stay in business. Northwest Dog Project takes in neglected, abused and homeless dogs, making sure they are healthy, trained and socialized before rehoming them. Even if you can’t make it to the event you can still donate to the Northwest Dog Project at nwdogproject1.givemodo.com. Ales for Tails will take place on Saturday, April 1 from 6:30-9:30 pm at the Ninkasi Tasting Room. $5 or FREE for kids. — Jordan Rich eugeneweekly.com • March 30, 2017 15
