Mickey the Dog for Battersea

**Rehome Animals One Stitch at a Time with Mickey the Knitting Pattern** LoveCrafts has teamed up with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home to support the rehoming of lost and abandoned pets—one stitch at a time! By purchasing the Mickey knitting pattern, you’re not only indulging in a creative knitting project, but you’re also contributing 100% of the proceeds directly to the welfare of animals in need. Every stitch you create can help make a difference in their lives. Meet Mickey, the adorable design by GypsyCream Designs, inspired by a courageous street dog from Turkey. Mickey was rescued and brought to the UK after facing immense challenges due to his severely bowed legs. Right from birth, Mickey adapted his unique walking style—balancing on his elbows. Left untreated, he would have continued to endure significant pain and discomfort. Understanding that major surgery was essential for his well-being, the dedicated staff at Battersea rallied around him, and their commitment paid off. As Battersea's Veterinary Director remarked, “Everyone in the veterinary team has a soft spot for Mickey. We had a huge celebration when he took his first short, shaky step - we were all so proud of him.” Thanks to their expert care, Mickey has made remarkable progress. He can now walk and play freely in his new loving home, bringing joy to his adoptive family. By knitting Mickey, you’re not just creating a beautiful piece; you’re honoring a heartwarming journey of resilience and recovery.
