2008 “Operation Blankets of Love”
Blanket and Towel Drive
Dear Friends,
I want to share a special opportunity with you that was brought to my attention by Eileen Smulson. In 2007, Eileen created 2008 Operation of Blankets of Love Drive after learning that the Los Angeles Animal Services shelters were in dire need of blankets and towels to keep the animals warm and dry during the unpredictable weather.
Eileen has collected more than 2500 items already and was endorsed by the head of the LA Animal Services and all the Directors of the city shelters for her admirable service to the community.
Eileen says that these donations greatly enrich the lives of the homeless, abused, and abandoned dogs in these shelters by giving them a cuddly blanket to feel safe in. The towels are used for additional bedding or for grooming making them feel comfortable and relaxed, making them more adoptable.
You can help by collecting and donating clean, old & new blankets and towels for shelter animals waiting to be adopted by loving homes!
A study by the Compassion Action Institute in New York shows that shelter animals that are given blankets, sheets, and comforters to rest on are more able to relax and get comfortable in their new surroundings while they are waiting to be adopted. Potential adopters are more drawn to animals that appear relaxed and friendly, snuggled on a soft bed which helps to create a more home-like setting. The simple addition of a blanket or comforter to a shelter animal’s environment is proven to lead to increased adoptions.
Please bring your donations to the locations listed:
Warm Regards,
DENNIS P. ZINE
Your Third District Councilman
