How Your Pelsbarn Purchase Helps Shelter DogsUpdated 24 days ago

When you buy a Pelsbarn dog bed, you're doing more than giving your pup a cozy place to snooze—you’re changing the life of a rescue dog in need.

Every year, over 350,000 shelter dogs are euthanized in the U.S. alone. At Pelsbarn, we believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether they’ve found their forever home or not.

That’s why a portion of our profits goes directly toward donating cozy beds to shelters, where dogs often wait on cold, hard floors for a family to find them.




More Than Just a Dog Bed

Our rescue dog Maya is the heart of everything we do. She’s not only our inspiration—she’s also our product tester and model! If you've spotted her in our product photos, you're seeing the same pup who helped us design beds that feel like a 5-star hotel experience for dogs.




Our Mission to Help Rescue Dogs

At Pelsbarn, our mission goes beyond comfort—we aim to raise awareness about adoption and improve the lives of shelter dogs across the globe.

Here’s how we give back:

🐾 1. Volunteering Worldwide

We actively volunteer at dog rescue organizations in the U.S., Caribbean, Netherlands, and Mexico, helping hands-on with care and transport.

🐾 2. Life-Saving Medical Care

We help fund urgent treatments for dogs in underserved communities, where access to vet care is limited.

🐾 3. Rescue Flights

Pelsbarn helps finance transport for shelter dogs—giving them a ride to a loving forever home.

🐾 4. Product Donations

We donate our beds directly to shelters. Watch some of our donation moments here:

Your Purchase Has Power

Thanks to our amazing community, last year we’ve donated over $22,000 and helped dozens of rescue dogs find loving homes.

Every Pelsbarn purchase means one more step toward a world where all dogs are treated like the beloved furbabies (that's what "Pelsbarn" means in Scandinavian languages!) they are.

Thank you for helping us make tails wag around the world.
