Patient Pet Advocates
Patient Pet Advocates is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that helps to rehome pets for patients that have passed away after terminal illnesses. Instead of going to a shelter or pound, the pets are placed in foster homes until a permanent home can be found. They rehome approximately 12 pets per month.

project must-knows
To craft for this charity, please read our Project Overview Sheet thoughtfully put together by our Advisory Board. It includes all the details and patterns.
1) Pet Toys for Cats and Dogs of all sizes. We have curated a variety of patterns for some great toys. They primarily take in cats and small dogs, but they do take in larger dogs up to the size of German Shepherds. When making ANY pet toy do not include squeakers or bells or anything that could be swallowed if the pet was able to open the toy for the safety of the pet.
2) Pet Beds - Small and Medium beds are needed the most, but any size is helpful.
3) Pet Blankets - these can be sewn, knit, crochet or no-sew. Please see our guidelines for sizing needed.

If your box will cost you more than $20 to ship, CCHQ is partnered with Give Back Box to get you a $20 UPS label from Give Back Box and ship up to 50 pounds and 108" in girth to CCHQ here.
Due to a computer glitch, they send out the same label with the same tracking number to every person and you can't use it. After you receive your label, please immediately email Monika at info@givebackbox.com and ask for a "fresh" label with an unused tracking number. You will get a new label in 1-2 days. This is the label you should use.
