Blanket Drive 2019

Pupsters we’re gearing up for a cold winter and I wants to make sure all the furbabies in outdoor animal shelters stay warm like me! Despite the amazing and progressing No Kill efforts, there are still many kill shelters in South Carolina and many of these rural shelters have little funding so they are set up with outdoor dog pens and cats cages. Even those animal shelters with inside/outside runs are often very exposed to the outside elements so the cold comes in 24-7. In shelters that are full, the overflow of animals coming in from the cold by animal control or owner relinquishment is in even more critical conditions. When pups and kitties are cold and have weakened immune systems, they get sick easier and they are the most at risk for euthanization! I wants to help save as many animal lives as pawsible so they can be healthy and find their furever home!

This year we are holding our 3rd annual 2019 Blanket Drive to collect all your unwanted linens, blankets, and more to provide warmth, love and hope for shelter animals throughout South Carolina!

Clean out your linen closets and give us your old towels, linens, rags, sheets, pillow cases, and blankets since you got nice new shiny ones this howliday! We are also collecting outdoor tarps so kennel panels can be covered to protect against wind; heating pads, storage totes, insulation, & duck tape to make feral cat shelters; dog and cat beds; dog sweaters, jackets and anything shelters can use! Look below fur a list of items, my amazon wishlist, and drop off locations fur the lowcounty Charleston SC area. You can send gift cards or paypal, checks, etc and we can purchase fur you too! Of course we needs volunteers to help make this the biggest Blanket Drive we’ve done so bark at me today!
