Description
This 2″ iron-on embroidered patch is part of the patch program®® from MakingFriends®.com.
Michele Lago, a program manager in The ASPCA Shelter Outreach department, helped us put together this patch program®. Make sure to check first with your local shelter as they often have specific lists and items that are used. Shelters often get cluttered with donated items that are not needed.
