Snuggles Project

Snuggles project:

Quote
The Snuggles Project was founded by our president and founder, Rae French, in 1996 because of her heartfelt need to do something for the innocent victims who find themselves in animal shelters without a bit of comfort to call their own. Picturing them in their hard cold cells made her heart ache to do something to help. So she got the idea of security blankets for shelter animals. The security blankets are called "Snuggles." Each animal would get a Snuggle to cuddle up with to feel warmth and comfort. Most shelter animals are kept in areas with stainless steel braces and hard plastic flooring or even bare concrete floors. The Snuggles would allow them to have a little reprieve from the coldness of the pen they are kept in.

Snuggles not only give physical comfort but psychological comfort as well. And not only for the animals -- the tens of thousands of kind-hearted people around the world who make them for the animals receive so much satisfaction from their work as well. Many have experienced the thrill of getting their friends, their family, their school or camp children, the elderly in their community involved in the Snuggles Project. The wonder of the Snuggles Project is how it bridges generation gaps and opens doors to community involvement.

Thanks for the info, Wrennie!

I think I'm going to be passively forced in GS leader next year - I was thinking this would be a good project for them also.

This is a good project.  There are a couple of shelters in my area that use the Snuggles program as well. 

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.
