89-Year-Old Woman Knitted 450 Blankets And Coats For Shelter Dogs

There are numerous opportunities to assist with shelter animals at local rescue organizations.

If you’re looking for opportunities to work with animals at shelters, there are plenty of options and approaches available. Supporting local rescues can be done in a number of ways; most of them appreciate any help, whether it be by walking dogs, fostering, cleaning kennels, or helping with adoption events.

But a British woman has come up with a rather creative way to support animals in need: she makes them sweaters and blankets!

Over the years, Maisie Green has made hundreds of dog sweaters and blankets using her knitting abilities. All of them have been donated by her to the UK’s canines Trust Basildon shelter’s rescue canines.

In the following Dogs Trust Instagram image, 89-year-old Maisie is shown standing proudly in front of her knitted crafts for the rescue animals:

“I love knitting and I love dogs, so this combines both wonderfully,” she said to the Dogs Trust Basildon. A blanket takes me three days to knit, while a dog coat takes me one day.

She obviously likes assisting the puppies in need as they search for their permanent homes because of all that knitting. Maisie knits in large quantities, and her family assists her in making the three-yearly trek to the shelter to drop off her donations of knitted items.

She also added that she feels more purposeful now that she is working on knitting projects.

It keeps me occupied, and I frequently enjoy knitting while watching TV. I’m thrilled to be of assistance in any way to the center’s four-legged inhabitants,” she remarked.

By December 2018, Maisie had crocheted 450 garments for the shelter animals to keep them warm, according to Dogs Trust Basildon.

Whether the goods are from Maisie or someplace else, the dogs at the shelter seem to adore receiving knitted stuff. They also look adorable when they use them.
