I am a certified nut. My pups have more clothing than I do. I guess it makes sense since there are more of them? LOL

I've bought quite a few winter coats. I've even donated some but we still have lots at home. As he gets older I don't use the ones that you've to squeeze their legs into the sleeve hole or the ones with velcro under their belly as he doesn't like it so I keep buying until I find one that he likes so I've too many now lol.

I have a dumb question- do shelters take donated coats etc? I have some old ones that are too small for Jax and they're good quality, but no tags etc... some have like fluffy hoodies and stuff but they would keep dogs warm. I did not know if a shelter would appreciate having them (I'd probably grab some food or something as well to donate if I went) but didn't know if I'd get laughed at bringing in small jackets or if they'd be appreciated!

Ignore the rest of my closet. I want a new system but for now, lol.... this is all Jackson and Lola's area!

Each little drawer is separate, like top one is mostly treats and such. 2 are for sweaters and coats and collars and harnesses etc. The little plastic one has bandanas up top, then "medicine" drawer with tooth paste and flea/tick and heartworm etc.

Britster, I'm thinking you could turn your organizational skills into a consulting business for some of us who go a bit over-the-top when buying clothes, harnesses, accessories...for our little ones! You've done a wonderful job in putting 'everything in it's place and a place for everything.'

When my last girl passed in 2013 I swore no more dogs. I took everything dog related to my local no kill shelter. Dry dog food, treats, coats, sweaters, T-shirts leashes, harnesses, collars, blankets, bags of toys, barking treat cookie jar. And because I saw at the shelter dogs playing in those small round kiddie pools I donated a very large kiddie pool that my girls played in. Every so often they have sales on donated things they can't use (like the barking treat cookie jar). The shelter is not funded, sales money goes to caring for the animals.
So to answer your question YES shelters take coats and what ever else you want to donate.

Here is the closet that has everything but food, the organizer outside of the closet, the food/treat closet and their current leash and harness.

Oh my, truly amazing and lovely and just pretty perfect. Your hanging section looks like it was taken right from a high-end boutique!
