Dog Beds for Lee County Animal Shelter
***UPDATE Nov. 16, 2019*** Great news! We have ordered 48 Kuranda beds and they will be delivered to the Lee County Animal Shelter at the end of the week. Any additional funds that come in this week will be used to purchase blankets for the dogs. Now we need to coordinate volunteers to put them together. If we can get two dozen volunteers to meet out at the shelter on Saturday, November 23rd at 10 am , we can easily have them put together and installed by noon. Please email me if you can help! [email redacted]. Thank you!!
As winter is upon us, the dogs at Lee County Animal Shelter in Bishopville, SC are spending their nights in freezing temperatures in outdoor kennels. Making this situation worse, they are sleeping on the cold concrete. Last night the temperatures dipped into the teens. As you can imagine, this is really hard on a dog.
After speaking to Brandi Sowell at LCAS, she told me that the ideal dog beds for their shelter are Kuranda beds. Kuranda Dog Kennel Beds are perfect for shelters because they are indestructible, they get the dogs up off of the ground, and the fabric provides real orthopedic comfort for the dogs. I called Kuranda on Wednesday, Nov. 13, and learned that NoMA Bark Park's 501c3 non-profit status makes it feasible for us to order the beds for Lee County Animal Shelter at a steep non-profit discount.
$4000 will cover the cost of 48 XL Kuranda Kennel Beds, plus the cost of shipping. Normally the cost for one of these beds is $114, we can get them for $70 if we place an order for more than 30 beds.
Please consider helping this shelter. These beds are an excellent investment and will last them forever. Our dollars together will go a lot farther than individual donations.
The Lee County Animal Shelter has a webpage for donating Kuranda beds: https://shelterbeds.org/index.php?route=events/events_view&event_id=371237&akey=14644, but as you'll see, the price per bed is much higher than buying them in bulk.
Let's help some pups ride out the harsh winter nights in just a bit more comfort than their current situation of sleeping on the cold concrete.
Your donation is a charitable donation. NoMA Bark Park is a 501c3. Absolutely every penny of this fundraiser will go to this project. We have no administrative costs or overhead.
Thank you!
