How to Donate Furs
Donating fur items is an efficient way to clean out your closet, relieve your wardrobe of bulky, space-consuming garments and to give to animals or people in need. Fur garments that you no longer wear can act as nesting material for deserted or victimized shelter animals to help in their recovery. Similarly, fur coats can dramatically improve the quality of life for those who lack warm garments.

The fur is used as bedding material to help reduce the degree of human contact when rescuing and rehabilitating these creatures.
