I use our old towels for our pooch. They’re perfect. They may be frayed at the edges but they dry Apollo’s fur beautifully. Great idea to donate to shelters. 👏👏

Great info. And I bet the local wild animal rescue center wants all the same stuff too.

The amount of towels our shelter goes through is crazy. I swear the washing machine is going literally every time I am there.

Same. At our local shelter there’s a whole volunteer role JUST for laundry!

Absolutely true. Vets and shelters love getting towels and can always use them.

Many an old blanket and ratty towel has gone to our local shelters. Good reminder!

Agreed, most folks don't think about their local animal shelters and rescues when changing out their towels and blankets. Thanks for sharing this.
