Donations Needed
ASD is strongly encouraging donations of Kuranda beds of all sizes for our doggie friends, There are lots of benefits for pets sleeping on Kuranda Beds, including:
- Kuranda Beds are the superior choice in shelters and rescues due to their durability and added protection of a 1-Year Chew Proof Warranty.
- Shelters prefer Kuranda beds since they are easy to clean and sanitize, minimizing the spread of infectious disease.
- The elevated sleep surface helps regulate body temperature, both in warmer and cooler months.
- The orthopedic design alleviates pressure points on joints.
- Quality sleep reduces stress which keeps animals healthy and feeling good while they await their forever homes.
Donations of KMR Milk and Other Pet Supplies Still Needed!
Sizes and amounts of KMR milk and bottles for underage kittens are included in our wishlist.
