Urgent Call for Blanket Donations to Keep Our Community Warm This Winter

Winter’s cold, damp weather has arrived, and it is already making a serious impact on our outreach efforts. The most urgent need right now is simple but critical: blankets. Not just any blankets, but a specific type that holds heat well, stays dry longer, and provides the comfort that people and their dogs desperately need as temperatures drop.
Why These Blankets Matter
We work with 11 people and 20 dogs who rely on us for support. Out of all these individuals, only one person currently has one of these heavy-duty blankets. To ensure everyone stays warm and safe through the harsh winter months, we need 24 more of these blankets.
These blankets are different from regular ones. They are designed to:
Retain heat effectively
Resist moisture better than typical blankets
Offer durable comfort for both humans and their pups
Smaller dogs can often share blankets with their humans or use the smaller blankets we already have. But these heavy-duty blankets are a true lifeline for the whole family.
How You Can Help
The blanket we need is currently available on Amazon at a Black Friday week sale price of $29.74. We have added it to our Amazon Wishlist to make donating easy and direct. If you want to help, purchasing one or more blankets from this list will make a huge difference.
If donating is not possible for you right now, sharing this message with your network can also help. The more people who see this, the better chance we have of reaching our goal and keeping everyone warm this winter.
What We’re Facing
Winter weather is not just uncomfortable; it can be dangerous. Cold, wet conditions increase the risk of illness and make daily life much harder for people and animals without proper shelter and warmth. These blankets provide more than warmth—they offer a sense of security and care that can change someone’s winter experience.
Our outreach team sees firsthand how much these blankets help. They are often the difference between a cold night and a safe, warm one. With 31 lives depending on us, your support is vital.
Final Thoughts
This winter, blankets are more than just items—they are essential tools for survival and comfort. By donating one of these special blankets or sharing this call for help, you can directly impact the well-being of people and dogs in our community.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone warm, safe, and cared for during these challenging months. Together, we can make sure no one is left out in the cold alone.
And as always, thank you for helping us Pay It Fur-Ward.❤️


We did order 2 of these blankets just a minute ago. We ordered one in California King since one client has 3 decently large dogs and lives in a tent. The California King purchase I manually adjusted on the wishlist.
