This is actually a repost from two months ago, unfortunately no blankets were donated. We are about out of blankets now. If you have any appropriate fleece for dog "no sew" blankets let us know and let's see if we can get it to the right people. If you would like to contribute for us to purchase fleece for volunteers and their families to make blankets I will attach a donate button to this post for you. It takes about a yard (double fold expands to 60 inches which gives 2 layers) for each blanket.
Bichon Bash is in October- if you plan to attend and want to bring your blankets with you that is also a possibility.
WHY are these blankets so important? As someone who has picked up hundreds of dogs for various rescues and likely around 50 just for BFK- these scared, dirty, sometimes sick dogs leave the shelter to the unknown. They get a foster family and a blanket and the other usual supplies such as collar, leash, tag... I haven't seen any dog be bummed that they got their very own made with love soft clean blanket and that blanket will go with them when they move on to their permanent home, which is another transition. I am a firm believer that blankets make it better.
Below is the standard information that is posted in a blanket plea... please message us or email [email protected] with any questions.
HELP US BLANKET THE FURKIDS!
We have an urgent need for no-sew fleece blankets for the dogs of Bichon FurKids Rescue.
Every dog that enters our rescue receives an adoption kit that includes a bed, blanket, toys, collar, leash, bowl, treats, and other essentials. For many of these little dogs, their blanket becomes a source of comfort and security as they adjust to foster care and then move on to their forever homes.
Unfortunately, after a busy year of adoptions and rescues, our blanket supply is now almost completely depleted.
The good news? These blankets are easy to make, require no sewing, and are a wonderful group project for:
🐾 Families
🐾 Children and grandchildren
🐾 Scout troops
🐾 School groups
🐾 Church groups
🐾 Senior centers
🐾 Community service projects
🐾 Anyone who loves Dogs
Also a good solo project of course! An easy project to do while watching TV!
We need all kinds as we are at the literal end of our blanket supply for the first time in the 14 years as your Facebook editor...
💗 Girly patterns
🔵 Cute boy prints
🌸 Floral prints
🦋 Bright colors
🌈 Fun prints
**We also welcome donations of new fleece fabric suitable for dog blankets if you would rather donate materials from your stock than make blankets yourself.
Each blanket is made from two 1-yard pieces of coordinating fleece and tied together with simple knots. We have complete instructions available and are happy to email them to anyone interested.
Please send us photos of your blanket-making projects! We love recognizing the wonderful people who help our FurKids.

❤️ A soft blanket may seem like a small thing, but for a frightened rescue dog, it can provide comfort, security, and a sense of home when they need it most.
Thank you for helping us wrap our FurKids in love.
