Please Donate Your Old Blankets To Your Local Shelter

I am always on the forever search for new ideas of what I can do to help out my local animal shelter.

In most parts of the country, it is still pretty chilly, and snow and rain are still on the forecasts. Unfortunately, millions of shelter dogs and cats do not have the comforts of snuggling up under the comforter with their human saviors every night.

I have a great way for everyone to donate to their local animal shelter, and it will cost them absolutely nothing.

Animal shelters are always looking for blankets, a softer alternative to sleeping on cold concrete floors every night. If every family in America could donate one blanket to an animal shelter, I am sure that there would be a nice blanket for a lonely dog or cat to sleep a little more comfortably every night.


You can also donate kibble to animal shelters. And it doesn't matter what kind either, full bowls are better than empty ones. Canned food can be used for pregnant females and puppies as well.

Almost all shelters have volunteer programs. You can do a wide range of things which include walking and playing with the dogs and cats, cleaning kennels, feeding animals, assisting families find their perfect pet, and even bathing cats and dogs.


There are all kinds of ways everyone can help their local animal shelter, from donating their old blankets to donating money. Lets all put out a helping hand and help those that cannot help themselves.
