Dog or cat food - we feed all our residents a regular diet of premium food to keep them healthy - changing food can upset their stomachs. If you have dog or cat food to donate, please can we suggest that you take it to a smaller, local rescue centre who will be very grateful for it.Newspapers - we do use newspapers in the kennels but we always have thousands of them!Small knitted blankets - we can always use large blankets and knitted blankets, but we are over run with small ones at the moment.Knitted dogs coats - we've got thousands of these at the moment, tooSmall crocheted blankets - unfortunately, crocheted blankets are not suitable to be used in kennels as the holes are usually too big, allowing claws and paws to get stuck in them.Old computer equipment, as it is not compatible with our computer system.
