Each year, millions of animals with homelessness are taken to shelters. The main reasons are that owners abandoned them or animal control found them on the street. Thankfully, not everyone around is heartless, so people are willing to give poor animals another chance at life. One such person, Maisie Green, uses her talent to provide blankets and sweaters to keep the shelter dogs warm.

Maisie Green is an 89-year-old dog lover from Essex, England. Three times a year, she donates her knitted creations to the shelter Dogs Trust Basildon. Her family members often help her deliver blankets and sweaters to the shelter. At 89 years old, Maisie has knitted around 450 items for the pups awaiting forever homes at the shelter. The Dogs Trust says that she has been donating hand-knitted goods to them for many years.

Even at her age, Maisie didn’t give up her work to help the poor souls at the Dogs Trust shelters. “I love knitting and I love dogs, so this combines both wonderfully! It takes me three days to knit a blanket and one day to knit a dog coat. It keeps me busy, and often I like to knit while watching television. I’m delighted to be helping the four-legged residents at the center in some way.” Maisie told the Basildon Standard.
