Do you have some sweaters you’ve outgrown (or shrunk) in your closet?
Here’s a great use for them: a Mississippi husband-wife team is converting used sweaters into doggie sweaters to keep shelter dogs warm this winter!
What began as a local project with a visit to their local Goodwill to collect old and used sweaters has become a national effort, one that involves taking donations for sweaters in hopes to distribute to shelters all across the country.
In her blog Alisha writes, “Here in our small home town we only represent a small corner of the country. The winters are nice compared to many chilling places up north and through-out. After talking to other shelters just in our area I can only imagine what dogs go through every winter all over the US. It’s obvious we have (unexpectedly) stumbled upon a HUGE issue that should be addressed.”
