A lot of hair comes from Kennels. And Postmore Kennels is no exception.
But who would think it is something that can help the victims of the BP Oil Spill?!
Well I'm "just a dog" but I can do something to help and
you can too!
The HAIR FOR OIL SPILLS PROGRAM by MATTER OF TRUST.ORG will take any and all hair donations to clean up oil spills!
They will take pet hair, old nylon stockings with or without runs, waste wool, feathers, and natural fiber donors.
What do they do with the hair?
They stuff loose hair into nylon stockings to make a "boom" that helps soak up and contain oil spills.
They make certain that all other garbage has been removed. The hair are sent off to a "nonwoven needlepunch factory" to make hair mats. They use these mats to line cages of birds and mammals who got caught by an oil spill. They also use these mats in other oil spill emergencies.
Now who would have thought that me, Max, "just a dog", could help victims of oil spills! But it's true! I can help and so can you!
So please, check out the links above and the instructions below and help all my brothers and sisters in their fight for life at this difficult time.

Step 3They are currently working on getting a new warehouse. They request you do not send the hair until they post the new address. If you will register at www.ExcessAccess.org, they will contact you by e-mail when the new warehouse is open for business.
