She said:

I love to knit and I love dogs, so it’s going really well! It takes me three days to knit a blanket and one day to knit a dog coat. It keeps me busy and I often like to knit while watching TV. I am delighted to help the four-legged residents of the center in one way or another.

Maisie regularly gives her knitting donations and we are so grateful for her support. With the cold of the winter months starting to take hold of us, I know our dogs are very happy to use the items wisely, and they love to feel very comfortable!

Like many shelters, the Dogs Trust Basildon encourages locals to take care of their animals by donating blankets and sweaters to make the animals more comfortable. It also encourages people to volunteer, giving its canine residents one-on-one time with humans, which can help build confidence.
