Our animals are in desperate need of blankets and comforters!
Our building is older, and the ground that our pups lay on is hard and can be uncomfortable, so we like to make sure that each and every dog has nice soft, cozy blanket to snuggle into.

Sometimes something as simple as a blanket can give a dog enough of a sense of safety and security to allow them to relax inside of their kennels. This is extremely important because we want every animal to be as comfortable as possible during their stay with us.
