Keep 'em warm -- blanket donations needed at the Harbor Animal Care shelter in San Pedro
I received a call today from Theresa Sardisco -- who founded Pedro Pet Pals a few years back -- saying that LA city's Harbor Area shelter is in dire need of blanket donations.
The nights, she said, have been especially cold and the shelter is running low on blankets.
You can drop blankets off at the shelter between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday or from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. The shelter is closed on Mondays. The shelter is at 957 N. Gaffey St., San Pedro.
Theresa said a blanket drive is being planned for February with newly elected 15th District Councilman Joe Buscaino.
But donors don't have to wait for that, she said. Extra blankets are needed now. Used blankets are fine, but they should be clean.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
