Keen knitters can drop off pouches at Pets At Home and Groom Room Ballymena for those animals affected by the raging Australian bushfires.
The pouches will be used to comfort those animals injured or orphaned by the fires which are sweeping large parts of Australia.
Koalas, kangaroos, and even bats have been injured as the blazes have destroyed their natural habitats.
But people around the world have shown kindness and generosity through the creation of pouches, blankets, nests and mittens for displaced animals.
Now, Co Antrim knitters can help boost the donations to Australia by following the pattern below.
Pets At Home and Groom Room says it’s proud to announce that it is now a drop off hub for knitted goods for the Australia animals affected by the fires.
