Jerry Green Dog Rescue is appealing for people to get knitting for its ‘Great Doggy Knit Off’ campaign to keep dogs without a home warm this winter.
Knitted jumpers, snoods, hats, blankets or toys will help to keep over 160 abandoned and unwanted dogs cosy and comfortable in cold weather.
Dog lovers can deliver their knitted items to any of the charity’s five centres at Blidworth near Mansfield, Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire, Broughton near Brigg, North Lincolnshire, Algarkirk near Boston, South Lincolnshire and Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
“Short-haired and older dogs particularly feel the cold this time of year,” said Head of Fundraising at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, Catherine Foster.
“That’s why we’re calling for people to get crafty with their knitting needles and donate items for dogs to enjoy in their kennels and during walks. Our centres are pretty much at maximum capacity presently so the dogs in our care are in need of a little help to keep out the cold.
“Anything from knitted blankets to jumpers or snoods will help and all donations will be gratefully received,” she added.
