Fundraising for Jackets for Shelter Animals!
I'm fundraising to supply pet jackets to shelter animals in need in the Roanoke VA area this winter. All money received will go toward materials to make jackets for shelter animals (primarily dogs). If you have fabric, old/worn clothes, or other material that you think could be used as material for the jackets that would be equally appreciated! If so, please send me a direct message.
The example jacket pictured is an extra small, worn one that I made from old shirts and scrap materials. This is not an exact example of the jackets that I will be making for the shelter animals and the ones made for this project will be of better quality, these were made quickly from materials I had around the house. Also, the scrap materials I used was not entirely ideal and caused some unevenness around the edges. This jacket was made for 1 of 2 puppies we took in that were found abandoned in parking lot and were too malnourished to handle the cold, which is one of many scenarios where a shelter animal may need one of these jackets during the cold weather. GoFundMe is the only location where I will be taking funds. The only social media accounts specifically for this project/brand are currently @happydaypetapparel on Instagram, Tumblr, and YouTube and now @HappyDay_PA on Twitter/X.
Here is the GoFundMe link if you would like to donate or see more info. Reblogs are deeply appreciated.
APRIL 2025 UPDATE: Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot going on in my life that’s made it really hard for me to be as active with this as I should. So, instead of again coming on here when I can, apologizing for inactivity and saying I’ll do better, I’ll say: actually, I don’t know when things will be to where I can be active all the time. But, I’m not giving up on this. I am working on things in the background for this cause, and working on building up a collection of posts that are ready to post so there’s not such a big gap between each one. So, I may not be very active on socials for a while, and don’t know when I can be, but please know I am working on things and can’t wait until I can commit to this more effectively. Instagram is still usually the most up-to-date, so you can always check there for updates. Thanks to all of you that have/are supporting this cause 💜
