Can anyone find any more blankets or sheet or jumpers - bedding or sleeping bags?

Over the few days holiday - if they could call into local charity shops to find any?

It doesn't take long stood outside in these -3 degrees to know what it must be like for the dogs in kennels without a warm blanket.

Please try to find some -

or
do any of you know where we could find a rag and bone type company where we could buy some blankets/ sleeping bags from?

Namz - there's a later post asking if someone will collect from S5. Noticed that you are in north Sheffield. Would it be poss for you to link up with this person. If not, am sure someone will get these items from her. x

Namz, no it was a later posting dingo901 today at 0930, headed something like 'blankets for dog charity'. If you can't find it love, let me know and I'll get in touch with her. Am taking blankets etc down to pound on Monday from S11 if anyone wants anything taking x

As well as the igloo I just posted about, which would probably get trashed quite quickly in a kennel, I also have a blue fleece blanket, 2 large cotton sheets, one thicker than the other (but with paint on them) and 1/2 bag of Baker's dog food.

Can anyone collect from City Rd (and would they be kind enough to take some shredded paper to Jeddi_Warrior for me?)

Thanks

We are going to the pound tom and are in S13 if anyone has anything for me to collect let me know and we can go on our way so about 1ish.

Also i am leaflet dropping my neighbours on my street to appeal for bedding for the pound and i hope they will have a few things we can take. Just an idea for trying to find stuff.

Am collecting Geckoqueen's. Vikki, if you pm me your address I'll collect Sunday lunchtime. Leave outside your house if you're going out, thanks. Am going to pound on Monday. Just to repeat - quilts/pillows need to be non-feathers. Thanks again x

Lyndyx - your's must be the two bags I saw when I went in to do pics today, so yep, leaving them outside works. If possible, leave a message on one of the phonelines so somebody knows to come out and get it ;)

I took down a bundle of fleece tops and sweatshirts I'd cut all the buttons, eyelets, zips and cords off. As a rule they don't usually want clothing as it's full of buttons and things dogs can choke on, but I was alarmed at how empty their bedding cupboard currently is!

We're currently making enquiries with textile recyclers, but wheels turn slowly, so any suitable textiles that people can drop off in the next week would be greatly appreciated

We really could do with some fixed collection points too

Rubydazzler owns the shop called unit1 on Woodseats and has previously volunteered to be a drop off point. I think Lotti's shop has been offered too
