Provide some crochet comfort for rescue dogs
I’m so excited to welcome you to the Rescue Dog blog hop!
During this 15-day event, you’ll be introduced to 11 crochet designs especially for rescue dogs. While they can be used for any dog, the focus in this event is on helping a dog look its best for adoption, then being comfortable and cared for once it arrives in its forever home.
This blog hop is a bit different from others, though. Along with the “can’t-miss” crochet patterns, you’ll find feature articles and roundups to inspire you and give you a glimpse into the world of adopting rescue dogs.
You’ll get a peek at some special dogs who have found their forever homes with folks who love crochet.
You’ll read about how one extended family has made it their mission to adopt rescue dogs and provide a place in the family.
You’ll also read about an organization that holds a special place in my son’s heart and how his family was inspired by my mother.
Help can take many forms. Often, we immediately think of adopting a rescue dog. But, that may not be possible for every household. So, this blog hop is set up to offer suggestions for other ways you may be able to help.
Besides actually adopting a rescue dog, crochet and monetary donations are also great ways to help dogs in need and support the shelters that give them a temporary home. I hope you’ll find something that helps you honor these special dogs.
