Columbus Dog Connection was moved to create a
low cost elevated dog bed. Although this had been on our to do list for several
years, we were moved to action
after we did a shelter make over at Meigs County, (see below).
A few Doggedly Dedicated Dogmanity Do'ers, pulled their creative talents
and came up with an easy and inexpensive way for anyone to build an elevated dog
bed. For just $12 in supplies, you can build an elevated dog bed for your
shelter or rescue organization.

for detailed instructions.
On 3 different occasions, volunteers with Columbus Dog Connection gathered to
build dog beds for homeless dogs in rural Ohio Shelters. In all, we have built
267 beds. A few of the beds have gone to rescues, but most are now being used
by dogs in rural Ohio shelters.
View our Photo Gallery from all 3 dog bed making events as well as pictures of
the beds being used in shelters who have used our idea for the beds. We were most tickled to hear about
Porter...a cute mix at the Fayette County Animal Control. Lee, the dog warden,
told us "Porter didn't move from it all day" after he put the bed in his kennel.
