COZIES FOR PETS:  Pets are victims, too, and they deserve some TLC. We send warm slippers for the women and children. Let’s give the pets some warmth and comfort with a blanket of their own.  The Shelter would love to have some of our "Cozies" for their pets.
The blankets may be knitted, crocheted or sewn, but they MUST BE WASHABLE. Please use multiple strands of worsted weight yarn or bulky/super bulky weight for the knitted/crocheted ones. Use the smallest knitting needles or crochet hook as you can as the blankets needs to be firm and as tight as possible.


For the sewn blankets, several layers of fabric and batting is needed to stand up to the wear and tear it will get. Denim is good, as is flannel. If batting is used, be sure that it is stitched from corner to corner or several lines across the middle of the blanket to keep the batting in place so it doesn't bunch up when washed.


If you also pledged slippers and/or washcloths for this shelter, they can all be mailed in the same package. Here we go:


3 blankets, 20 x 20 -  DONE
3 blankets, 24 x 24 -  DONE
1 blanket, 24 x 30 -  DONE


MAILING DEADLINE and ADDRESS:     SAME AS LISTED ABOVE
