Did you know that donating one blanket to a shelter can save
two lives? It is likely that the one dog will be adopted and when that happens,
another dog can await finding their forever family. Snugly blankets make dogs more adoptable!

Eileen Smulson was our guest on PAWsitive Radio All Things
Pets, and I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing her. She is the founder and President of Operation
Blankets of Live, an award winning nonprofit public charity. They collect and distribute recycled and new
pet related items to comfort stray, sick neglected and abused homeless animals
in shelters, rescue groups, sanctuaries and foster groups.
They are also an Emergency Response Team that partners with
those organizations who provide relief and comfort to animals that are
displaced or endangered by catastrophe.
Her adopted dog Ginger was the inspiration for her to start
this charity. She wanted to make sure that every homeless pet had warmth and
comfort by having a blanket to snuggle in while waiting to be adopted by a
loving family and forever home.
So one blanket really does save two lives. The research is
showing that shelters who have snugly blankets for animals instead of cement
floors are more adoptable. And the impacts on the animal of course are extremely
positive.
Operation Blankets of Love hosts blanket drives and also
does presentations in schools and to children and youth programs. They also
engage schools in blanket drives, which is a very positive learning experience
for children to be engaged in animal kindness and making a difference.
Listen to the incredible things Operation Blankets of Love
are doing:
·
How could you host a blanket and towel drive?
·
How could you support your local animal shelter?
It starts with sharing the message. Then by taking action.
thank you Eileen for all you do to positively impact shelters, and the many animals awaiting a forever family!
