When asking for donations, build awareness and enthusiasm with your followers! People love to know the “story” behind your organization, why you’re needing Kuranda Beds and how they will benefit the animals in your care.
Add a personalized message catered to your followers when you post your campaign/ask – explain why your Wish List items are needed, how it will benefit your animals etc. Include photos and your custom ShelterBeds Wish List link.
Here are examples of successful “asks”:

Why Kuranda beds specifically?
- Kuranda Beds are the superior choice in shelters and rescues due to their durability and the added protection of a 1-Year Chew Proof Warranty.
- Shelters prefer Kuranda beds because they are easy to clean and sanitize, minimizing the spread of infectious diseases.
- The elevated sleeping surface helps regulate body temperature, both in warmer and cooler climates.
- The orthopedic design alleviates pressure points on joints.
- Quality sleep reduces stress which keeps animals healthy and feeling good while they are in our care.
- Beds can be used for place training to help socialize dogs and improve their chance of adoption.
- Kuranda is a small, family-owned company. Their beds are made in the USA, just outside of Baltimore, Maryland.
You can even add a personalized note to your donation AND dedicate your donation with a Tribute Card.

Thank you so much for helping our group make the animals in our care as comfortable and safe as possible while they await their forever homes!
Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center was our featured Shelter Shout Out in May 2023 – their campaign was primarily powered by their email newsletter (using one of our pre-made shareable graphics) with a corresponding Facebook post.
Our Shelter Shout Outs highlight animal welfare groups who have run successful or creative Kuranda bed donation campaigns. We ask them to share their experiences, insight, tips, tricks etc. with us and with other rescues.
We hope that this information is helpful for other groups to also receive Kuranda donations for the animals they’re caring for!
QR Code Flyers
We are able to generate a custom flyer with a QR code that can be scanned and will direct people to your custom Wish List page. These are great to include in adoption kits, have on display at your facility or hand out at events etc.
