PAPER FOR PUPPIES: Got any to give?

Got old newspapers? Those puppies – and others – need them! Jennifer from Smidget Dog Rescue says WSB readers helped big time when she last asked, and she’s asking again:

Jennifer from Smidget Dog Rescue here. West Seattle really came through for the newspaper call last year. We filled the shed but now we are ready to accept newspaper again! We currently have over 20 puppies in the rescue and still need more paper. I’ll be doing pickups in the next 2 weeks. Please text 206-261-3342 and I’ll schedule you! Thank you!!

Jennifer explained last year that they use newspaper instead of puppy pads because the latter just get torn up.

    Anybody know whether there’s a rescue or shelter-adjacent collection operation in West Seattle that could use old towels and washcloths? We just decided to swap out some of our more worn linens for a fresh set and have the old ones clean and bagged up ready to be used somewhere that the snags and fading won’t be minded.

      You could see if any house cleaning companies would want them, they’re the best for that sort of work.

      Seattle Humane accepts towels.  It looks like they have a drop off location at Pet Pros in Westwood Village. See Seattle Humane’s  list of what donations they accept and don’t accept: https://www.seattlehumane.org/ways-to-give/give-supplies/There’s an email at the bottom of the page if you have questions.

        Is that the severe weather shelter? I’ll reach out.

          It is not. Burien C.A.R.E.S. is an animal shelter on 151st and Ambaum in Burien.

      Seattle Animal Shelter on 15th used to take old towels.

    Vet clinics take old towels, too.
