Last but not least, Underground Railroad would like some Cozies (pet blankets) for the family pets at the shelter.  Blankets can be sewn, crocheted or knitted but should be thick and solid so their paws do not go through holes in the blanket.  They should also be machine washable.  We generally recommend using two or three strands of worsted weight yarn held together.
