No bed anywhere compares to the versatility, comfort, value and durability of Kuranda dog beds. These long lasting beds have set the standard for what a dog bed should be.
 


Give Our Orphans the Gift of Comfort

The dogs and puppies at the Sterling Shelter are still in need of Kuranda beds. Thank you to the wonderful families who have donated Kuranda beds! Our canines thank you and send licks and slurps. However, we are still in need of 10 beds to complete a bed for each kennel. Please donate a Kuranda pet to help keep our furkids comfortable. Thank you!

This convenient system allows you to automatically make a donation to the Sterling Shelter every month via credit card or checking account. This is an extremely powerful fundraising method that can allow the Shelter to save thousands of additional animals every year with a donation as small as $2.00 per month from you. Thank you for your support!
