Charity Feature - Tails of Hope Foundation

Doris joins Tails of Hope Foundation in inviting
others to make and contribute more scarves.

The Tails of Hope Foundation, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization uses the skills of knitters and crocheters to help pet owners in need. Their volunteers create scarves out of Fun Fur which are offered in return for donations, used to provide life-saving advanced veterinary care for companion animals undergoing cancer treatments.
Visit Tails of Hope Foundation to find out how you can donate knit and crocheted blankets of all sizes to be included in the Blanketed with LoveSM packages. They're collecting blankets to be used at veterinary hospitals to keep companion animals warm after they have received treatment for cancer or other life-threatening illnesses, and to be used by owners to keep their companion animals warm while transporting them home after such treatment. Please contact them if you would like to become involved in this great project or have blankets that might be appropriate for donation.
