The Snuggles Project was founded by our president and founder, Rae French, in 1996 because of her heartfelt need to do something for the innocent victims who find themselves in animal shelters without a bit of comfort to call their own. Picturing them in their hard cold cells made her heart ache to do something to help. So she got the idea of security blankets for shelter animals. The security blankets are called "Snuggles."
The Snuggles Project remains a very popular program of Hugs for Homeless Animals. Since its inception we have provided more than 500,000 Snuggles to shelter animals around the world. That number is continuing to grow.
We welcome your participation. Please read about the program and how to participate. It is important to understand that the future of the project depends on everyone understanding and abiding by the rules of participation.
