Annie's Coats has been keeping Greyhounds warm since 2005.



Starting off with fleecy cosy home coats to keep rescue Greyhounds warm, the


range expanded in 2015 to include imported hipster allsorts, waterproof mother-


snuggers, tartan walking out coats. quilted warmers, and the hipster all season raincoats.

 


With each season we try to bring something new - the cosy cardy and chesty allsorts being the


latest designs we have created and had made up for your houndies pleasure.







Autumn / summer has seen the addition of lighter options for sleeping walking, and


venturing out in showers and bright sunlight too!!!


100% cotton tees and polo shirts are the latest addition - designed for greyhounds


they are very popular.


Making and donating fleecy coats for many independent rescue groups


Australia wide, will always be the first priority.




You can contact me at grey_annie@yahoo.com.au






I am trying to take weekends off - most questions re styles, size and prices can be answered

by looking through the website. I do however check my emails when I can.


During the week I check emails a couple of times during the day however  my focus is sewing,

and this starts at 8am and often continues late into the evening to get orders out quickly.

I only have capacity to make standard greyhound size cosy  home coats, so unfortunately I do 

not cater for other breeds., variations to standard sizing etc.


For 99.9% of orders, coats are made up and in the mail the day after they are paid for -

except for weekends and public holidays when the post office is closed.

If I have an extraordinary number of rescue coats to make up in a hurry I will let you know of

any short delay at time of ordering.


I will always reply to your email the same day, and once your request is confirmed, please


either process payment through paypal or get get back to me stright away as I do not hold

fabric  or an item for  more than 48 hours.

Please note that I am in Australia and all prices are in Australian dollars with postage


shown for local delivery within Australia.


I do not generally mail to overseas due to high postage costs but please contact me if


you would like a postage quote.


Meanwhile please join us on facebook - lots of fun - pictures of happy cutomers - fundraising

specials - new fabrics ..............................

the History of Annie's Coats

 


The inspiration for "Annie's Coats" came from a group of senior greyhounds in Victoria who were desperately in need of loving homes. Within a week of the call going out, a number of very special people, some with their own greyhound(s), took these beautiful creatures into their homes as long term fosters.

Not being able to take another grey myself - I wondered what I could do to help.

Being in the depth of a Melbourne winter and looking at my two fur kids all snuggled in the polar fleece pj's I had made for them, I set off on a mission to make coats for the "oldies". Some wonderful people donated fabric, others money, and within a short time all of the seniors had new coats to take with them to their foster/forever homes.

The coats were very popular and I started receiving requests to make coats for other greys.

So, in 2005, "Annie's Coats" was born. Since then I have made and donated over 1,000 adoption and foster coats to Greyhound Safety Net in Victoria, a couple of hundred coats to Greyhound Rescue in NSW, and I make and donate adoption coats for Gumtree Greys and other private greyhound rescue groups throughout Australia. The sale of coats from this site enable this to continue.

Annie's Coats also sponsors Greyhound fundraising events when funds allow.
