You could get some cheap pieces of fleece from a fabric store/walmart/hobby lobbyThese are good because you usually don't have to do any sewingIt would be sufficient to just use a square of fabric, because fleece doesn't fray a lot, and it's warmAnother way you could help would be to start a drive to donate dog/cat foodYou could either raise money and buy it yourself to donate, or you could ask people in your town to donate the foodStarting a drive could be as easy as placing donation boxes in stores (get the owner's permission first) or asking people to donate directly to the shelterIt's good that you're helping the animal shelter:) The animals need it!
try getting some old towels and cutting them down and sew them into blankets, or maybe some old ratty blankets that you can cut down and hem-or flannel sheets You can also help by donating pet food.
The pattern tell you to buy 5 skeins so that is the number to buyIf you are substituting a different yarn google the pattern yarn and it will tell you the yardage/weight per skein so you can compare that with the yarn you wish to use.
