Houton kills somewhere around 85 THOUSAND dogs and cats a year in so called "shelters". Well you all know how we feel about that here at NKMCPA, but there are some dedicated rescue volunteers who are working their asses off to change things. Project 71 is one of those organizations.
From the Project 71 website:
An animal enters a shelter, and during the first 72 hours they will either:
1) be united with their owner.
2) enter an adoption program.
3) be euthenized.
in theory, we see the 71st hour as the most crucial... that's why we have devoted our lives to volunteering, fostering, rescuing & comforting as many shelter animals as we can.
You can order a dog bed from Project71 for your own dog or as a gift and they will ship it to your destination of choice.
Each dog bed measures 26" x 31" & will fit most small to large dogs...or 7 chihuahuas!
Outside cover: top is black nylon blend fabric with bright white stitching & resembles an industrial moving blanket/sides are turquoise colored cotton fabric for a fun pop of color...machine wash/dry
Filling is polyfil nufoam, which is soft, yet firm & dogs love it!
Filling is protected with a vinyl cover to prevent liquids from absorbing & can also be positioned over the entire bed for maximum protection...wipe clean.
$45.00 (plus $15 shipping/handling)
*in addition to Project 71's own volunteer & rescue efforts, they donate a percentage of their annual profits to animal welfare organizations.
