\n
We are appealing to animal lovers to donate blankets for dogs and newspaper for small animals in the care of our Dunbartonshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre. <\/p>\n

Blankets can be purchased from the centre\u2019s Amazon wish list or via any other online retailer offering direct delivery to the centre. Items can also be dropped in to the centre reception daily between 1pm and 4pm.<\/p>\n

New or used newspapers can be handed in to reception daily between 1pm and 4pm and must be bagged up.<\/p>\n

Centre manager, Judy Button, said, \u201cWe are in need of blankets to keep our dogs cosy in their kennels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appealing for good sized, thick blankets. We can accept second hand blankets as long as they\u2019re in good condition and laundered. We can also accept hand knitted or crocheted blankets but are unfortunately unable to accept donations of duvets. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf an animal rips a duvet this can be a serious choking risk. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also running very low on our newspaper supply so we are hoping there are people nearby who can donate their old papers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNewspaper is a great material to use as a base for cages to catch the inevitable mishaps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also use newspaper as bedding for new arrivals of exotic animals. They can\u2019t burrow in to it, so is a great way for us to monitor them easily.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot accept any magazines or papers with staples in them as these could be harmful to the animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonating old newspapers will allow us to keep animals like Gizmo the ferret in a clean and hygienic environment while they wait to find their forever homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone can spare any old newspapers \u2013 our animals aren\u2019t fussy between tabloid and broadsheet – then please drop them off to reception in a secured bag\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so thankful for any donations you can spare so that we can continue to provide the best possible care for the animals at our centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blankets can be donated via the centre\u2019s Amazon wish list here: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Hcefw3<\/a> or sent from another online retailer that can deliver. Blankets and newspaper can also be dropped in to the centre reception daily between 1pm and 4pm at Scottish SPCA, Dumbarton Road, Milton, G82 2UA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
