GLEN BURNIE, MD The image of cold dogs, lying on a hard, often wet cement floor paints a bleak picture of life in an animal shelter. That is why the Kuranda Dog Bed Company created a Donate a Bed Program to help provide dogs in shelters across the country with comfortable raised beds where they can relax during the time they are in the shelter.

The public has embraced the Donate a Bed Program which is providing thousands of beds to shelter dogs across the nation. “The Program is a Win-Win-Win” says Carol Grandmougin, Director of Humane Programs for Kuranda. She says “the Dogs love the comfort of the beds, the Staff appreciates the dog’s opportunity to relax, and the Public is impressed with the high level of care provided for the dogs.”

A gift of a Kuranda dog bed is a long lasting one. The raised hammock style of the beds provide orthopedic support good for healthy hips and joints. The design of the bed tucks the fabric into the specially molded channel making it virtually “chewproof”, backed by a full 1 Year Warranty! The company will replace any damaged part or fabric at no charge for the first year.

The Program enables individuals to donate and send beds directly to their favorite shelter at a discounted price. The bed can be sent in the donor’s name, or as a gift in someone else’s name. The shelter is immediately notified that a bed is on the way!

Pet owners know how important a bed is to their dog. Providing a comfortable raised bed where shelter dogs live 24 hours a day makes life nicer for them. Shelters report Kuranda beds make a big difference for the dogs in the kennels, reducing their stress levels by having their own comfortable bed making them happier and more adoptable.

“Our shelter takes in over 50,000 animals a year, sadly often there are few things we can do for them other than make them comfortable. The Kuranda beds make that possible. Our hearts get broken a lot; giving a dog a great bed makes the job a little easier. Plus, I sleep better at night knowing they sleep better at night.”

Kuranda USA is a small manufacturing company established in 1987 and based in Glen Burnie, Maryland. In the late 1980’s they manufactured a circular dog bed designed in Australia. It was an excellent bed but it was costly to make and ship. They discontinued manufacture of the circular bed in 1995 when they designed and patented the original rectangular dog bed which was an immediate hit.
