Help our friends in Bethany get some of these blessing bags out to our transient pups & humans ❤️🩹
What Goes Into a Blessing Bag? 🐾💛
Have you ever wondered what we mean when we say we’re putting together Blessing Bags for people experiencing homelessness or going through a hard time?
Our goal is simple: fill a large bag with useful, comforting goodies for both the human AND their pet. We want each bag to provide a couple of meals, some basic necessities, and a few little things that can bring comfort and dignity during a difficult time.
Here’s what went into the bag pictured:
🧺 A tablecloth - Something that can be used for shade, a ground covering, or whatever they may need it for
🧣 A blanket
🐶 Dog kibble
🥫 Wet dog food
🦴 A healthy dog chew
🧼 Baby wipes
🪥 A new toothbrush & toothpaste
🧴 A bar of soap
🐾 Paw balm (lucky dog — this is a rare treat in our bags!)
🪮 Dog brush (also a rare treat!)
💇♀️ Comb
🧴 Travel-size shampoo & conditioner
✂️ Small scissors & a pen
🩷 Feminine hygiene products
🪒 A disposable razor
🐟 A couple of tuna meals
🍪 A few snacks
💧 Water flavor packet (we also provide bottles of water)
🎒 A little bonus bag for hygiene products + a card holder
🐕 A dog harness (and if it doesn't fit their dog, we'll swap it for one that does!)
Ideally, we'd love to be able to give even more in every bag. But we're just getting started, and even this is still a BIG blessing to someone who may be going without. ❤️
And that's what this project is all about.
A meal.
A blanket.
Something for their dog.
Something to help them feel cared about.
A reminder that someone sees them and they matter.
We are always accepting donations to help us continue filling these bags! And remember, proceeds from our Painted Paws Bags also go directly toward purchasing supplies and filling Blessing Bags. 🐾🎨
Every donation, every bag, every painted paw print — it all adds up.
Let's keep filling bags. And let's keep spreading a little hope. 💛🐾
