Most of our volunteers have been involved in pet rescue and recently gave many hours to help 17 puppies and 2 momma dogs find their forever homes. One of our volunteers made prayer blankets for each puppy and Momma dog we had.

One of those puppies' new families had another dog named PENNY.

Two weeks after opening their home and hearts to one of our foster puppies named Jellybean- AKA Dunkin, their other dog PENNY had a very fast tumor growing causing her back leg to be amputated. AUNT PENNY decided it would be nice to make a prayer blanket for Penny (dog)

When Aunt Penny mentioned this to some friends they all wanted to help pray and make prayer blankets for pets This is how Pittsburgh PET Prayer Blankets was born.

Husband and wife who LOVE animals! That’s why we have… well let’s just say more dogs than the average household.

We also have two pygmy goats and a tank of African Cichlids. Oh, let’s not forget the two goldfish that were SUPPOSE to live outside in the fountain… we don’t like when animals live outside.

We foster 25 puppies/momma dogs a year and own a private dog training business. Penny also educates expectant parents on dog and baby safety.

To wrap pets in love comfort and prayer while also supporting the families who are going thru this difficult time.

To make pet prayer blankets available NATIONALLY through a large volunteer base.

As of October 2023, we have submitted our application for non-profit status. This means that all funds we receive are directly allocated to cover the costs of supplies and operations.

We seize opportunities to purchase FLEECE at discounted prices during sales.

Our team is composed entirely of volunteers dedicated to furthering our cause.

We deliver/send blankets to pets that have a medical need for prayer and comfort. We also send blankets monthly to several LOCAL rescues, shelters and home-based rescues within the local areas of Pittsburgh. We CAN and DO ship blankets. YOU can sponsor shipping if you like for just $15.

No , we do not but we do have beautiful affordable memorial plaques available.

You can find the order form on our website. We can ship anywhere. A portion of the sale is donated to our group for materials!

You must fill out a prayer blanket request form that can be found here on our website.

Fundraisers – Our Calendar and our homemade Pierogi sales are the big ones.

We sell custom memorials, ornaments, keychains.

We also rely on:

• sales on our shopping cart
• Blanket sponsors
• Delivery sponsors
• Some supplies are gifted to us.

Safety is our first concern. We feel that pets could get their toenails caught in yarn. We do accept crochet and knitted blankets ( IF the stitch is tight)

Thanks for asking! You may attend any of our monthly blanket socials. Bring some fleece and sharp scissors and we will be happy to show you! We may even have donated fleece there for you to use! Check our website for the next blanket social date, time and location.

We use both methods. The knotted ones are the originals. The pull-thru method is used when we want a soft finish all around the blanket. The choice is yours.

Yes of course we do.

We added the video to our website and can be found here.

You betcha! If you have at least 1.5 yards of either BLIZZARD, or ANTI PILL fleece we would be happy to receive it!

Currently, our goal is within 48 hours for local delivery by our volunteers and 72 hours for postal service. If the blanket request is urgent due to impending death we will do our best to get it there in time. If there is an additional charge for overnighting a blanket you will need to sponsor that cost.

While we love people too, our mission is for PETS.

You can find the memorial plaque order in our shop.

It takes APPROX 3-10 days for the product to be made and then add on for delivery. Busy times of the year may take a little longer.
