Beds Galore! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Good morning everyone!

I was wondering yesterday what you all do with your outgrown littlies beds?

They seem to be breeding in our house! Every time Harry outgrows one, or if I'm somewhere and see a brilliant new one that I just 'have' to buy

- all I do is put it down somewhere different in the house.

I feel I should be giving them to an animal shelter - but they've all got memories, and I just can't bear to part with them.

What do you all do? Sally + Harry x

Get another puppy!

I gave quite a few beds and blankets and kibble samples, toys and such to a local rescue.

But I also love Ritapatt's answer

We take ours to the SPCA (Society for Prevention to Animals here in the US). They are thrilled to get them. They also sent out requests for old sheets, blankets, towels for the animals.

I also donate my old beds, blankets etc. to my local shelter.

Same here. We (SPCA) are thrilled to get clean barely used beds, blankets, towels, toys, dog shampoo too ! Of course unopened dog food and cat food, and clay kitty litter, is always needed.

What a great idea to donate them! We just bought our very first big girl bed a few weeks ago. I will for sure donate it when we outgrow it.

I actually do knit blankets for our local RSPCA - and if ever I see a homeless person who's begging with a dog (this sounds dreadful) I go and buy dog food/biscuits and give those to them instead of money

We take all of our unused pup stuff to the humane society.

We aren't big on dog beds here, but Levi ends up with a lot of things we don't use...so off to the shelter they go! I'm sure they can put it to good use!
