Quick Tip: Donate Your Old Blankets, Towels & Un-Usables

We all have those old towels and blankets and towels that are too old for Goodwill or Salvation Army.

Instead of throwing these out, donate them to a local animal shelter or humane society. PAWS is located right at 2nd & Arch (and loves fleece blankets since they dry quicker!) or 2900 Grays Ferry Avenue & PSPCA are great local candidates to contact! What a better idea for those rapidly approaching holidays for pups & cats?
