Pet beds make shelter pets more comfortable. The beds keep the animals off the cold and hard concrete shelter flooring, provide a soft surface for pets to curl up on and make the animals feel less stressed. In an environment where the animals are scared and alone, donating pet beds is an act of kindness that makes the lives of shelter animals a little nicer.
Instructions
1. Contact the shelter to find out if they have restrictions on types of pet beds they accept. Some shelters only except certain types of pet bedding because of their limited ability to wash bedding and because lonely and stressed pets in closed shelter conditions may chew the beds.
2. Call private pet rescue organizations if you cannot find an animal shelter that accepts your type of pet bed. Private rescues are usually more lenient on the types of bedding they accept because they have the resources to wash bedding and their pets are often in a home environment where the animal is less stressed and less likely to chew the bed.
3. Purchase a pet bed. Shelters have specific brands they recommend if folks are looking to donate. Kuranda pet beds are comfortable, easy to clean and sturdy enough for shelter use, according to Floyd County Animal Control in Georgia. These beds are found in numerous shelters throughout the country. You can purchase Kuranda beds directly from the manufacturer's website. The company will ship the bed directly to the shelter of your choice with a gift card displaying your name enclosed in the packaging.
