Blanket Donations Needed for Villalobos Rescue Center

Please Help Us Collect Blankets for our Annual Blanket Drive for Villalobos Rescue Center!! 

It's that time of year again when the weather starts getting colder and we start to worry about the dogs out at Villalobos Rescue Center!!!

For those of you that aren't familiar with Villalobos Rescue Center, they are a sanctuary for 200 dogs in the high desert just outside of Los Angeles. You might recognize the name from the Animal Planet TV series 'Pit Bulls & Parolees'  which is getting ready to start it's second season.

Every year we ask everyone we know to go through their closets and storage and dig out their old blankets, quilts, comforters, and towels. We collect them all and take them out to Tia and her crew to help get them and the dogs through the cold winter months.

Just because they've recently become more well known, doesn't mean they don't still need our help. We talked to them this morning and they said that blanket donations are at a record low this year and they are in need more than ever!!

Please take a min to go through your closets and storage and see if you have any old stuff you want to get rid of!! We can come pick them up from you in the Los Angeles area or you can drop them off. If you are out of state email us and we'll try to figure how you can participate too!

We want to get as many blankets as we can by Friday, November 19,2010 and take them all up there that weekend. Please share this and ask all your friends and family for us too!! It really makes a difference for dogs, especially when it's snowing and wet and muddy out there.  

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!!

THANK YOU!!
