DOA: Because of You, Tails Are Wagging Again (July Donation)

4 minutes reading time

At the heart of every animal shelter lies a simple yet powerful mission: to offer love, safety, and hope to animals who need it most. As part of our ongoing commitment to helping shelter animals in need, this July, we donated to DOA, the second-oldest animal shelter in the Netherlands. Providing a calm and cozy place to rest can make a world of difference in their recovery and emotional well-being.

Who are DOA?

DOA is one of the largest animal shelters in the Netherlands. Located in Amsterdam, DOA are known for their compassionate care and dedication to animal welfare. They take in dogs from all backgrounds - strays, surrendered fur babies, and rescues from difficult circumstances. They provide them with the attention, training, and rehabilitation they need to have the best opportunity at a second chance to life.

Every dog at DOA is treated with patience and love, no matter their age, size, or history. The ultimate goal is to match each dog with the perfect family, giving them a second chance at a happy life. It’s a mission we deeply admire and are proud to support.

What We Donated

  • Original Calming Beds to help anxious dogs feel safe and secure

  • Orthopedic Beds to support older dogs or those with joint pain

  • Cooling Mats to keep the dogs cool and comfortable during the summer heat

These aren’t just beds to them, they're to help with recovery and comfort. For a dog adjusting to a shelter, a warm, soft bed can mean the world of difference between stress and relaxation, fear and calmness.

Why It Matters

Life in a shelter can be pretty overwhelming and scary, especially for dogs who’ve experienced trauma or neglect. Providing a quiet, cozy place to rest helps ease anxiety, supports physical and emotional recovery, and creates a sense of safety. All of these are essential for a dog’s emotional wellbeing.

Our donation is to support the incredible work DOA does every day. And it’s all made possible thanks to our customers, your continued support allows us to give back in ways that truly matter.
