Pet Bed Workshop

Winter time is hardest for homeless animals, and HeightsNEXT helps by hosting a pet bed workshop. In partnership with the Columbia Heights Public Library, this is one of our most popular city-wide service projects, drawing in people of all ages.

Handmade pet beds are donated to area animal shelters
Hundreds of handmade pet beds like this one are made during our heavily-attended service event.

Who

Anyone can do this! There is no sewing, just hand-tying.

How it works

Option 1: At the Library

We’ll provide all of the fabric supplies, tools, and guide you through our easy pet bed instructions.

You can also bring your own clean fabric supplies.

Volunteers tie fabric into simple pet beds.

Option 2: At Home

  1. Follow our easy instructions to prepare your own fleece.
  2. Then assemble your pet bed.
  3. Bring your completed pet bed to the Columbia Heights Public Library by February 11, 2023.
MARS - Midwest Animal Rescue Services. Here, All Roads Lead Home.

HeightsNEXT is not a pet rescue service. All of the pet beds you make are donated to Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS) of Minneapolis.


Donate your unwanted fabric year-round!

HeightsNEXT accepts donations of clean polar fleece fabric and flannel sheets, thick blankets, old sweatshirts, fabric scraps, etc. Just contact us to arrange a drop-off time and location.
