    Oh, that wasn't the issue with the pet shelter; they just told me they need LARGE size beds, and a bed pillow would only be good for smaller dogs; which we all know are seldom at shelters and never for long! And the bed pillows are too large for the cat cages.

    I've always used them to make pet beds. Pull the stuffing out and use it in any size bed you want. Usually two pillows will make a large (think Collie size) and one will do two cat size.

    Shelters are hesitant because dogs can unstuff a pillow and swallow the stuffing. Unless they use them for cats, it's a medical concern.

    How about a safe house, crisis center, youth home or nursing home?

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I use my old pillows to re-stuff the dog beds.
