The staff likes the waterproof pads for the cat crates..they can be folded for more comfort to the animal and wash up well.
But my shelter was donated several of the waterproof pads. Your shelter may not have any donated to them. That's why I am making some of the waterproof pads (or trying to anyway).
I saw one pet bed today in the shape of a tiger that has had the eyes chewed out of them. The stuffed animals are not supposed to be in the dog area.
