Doing the laundry is a labor of love for Plano’s Lori Birdsong
By Amy Sandling Crawford of the Plano Profile
It all started with tennis balls.
Several years ago, Plano resident Lori Birdsong was playing tennis at a local club and noticed that staff members were discarding tennis balls deemed too worn for use at the club. Birdsong asked if she could have the balls, then packaged them up in baskets to deliver to local animal shelters. She figured each adopted animal could go home with a new “toy” as part of an adoption.
But while visiting shelters to drop off the balls, Birdsong was told that toys were fine, but what shelters really needed were linens for the animals. Shelter workers said there is always a shortage of sheets and blankets to line cat and dog cages, and towels and incontinence pads to help with messes and cleanups. For the whole article, Click Here.

Linens for Animals: Unique Organization Offers Comfort To Animals
Posted 10/15/2009
A Houston Lab rescue just rented a giant van and went up to pick up a load of “stuff” from Linens for Animals in the Dallas area. I was told that they have a load of pee pads meant for the Rescue Ranch, too!
Rescues, fosters, people with disabled pets–take a look at the order form on the LFA website and get some of the great things that Lori and Mark are getting recycled. All you have to do is make a donation–and arrange for a way to get them from Dallas to you. LFA is now servicing 14 states, I believe!
