Ashley Furniture Program Comforts Sheltered Pets

- Sheltered dogs awaiting adoption in local humane societies will now rest easier because of a local Ashley Furniture HomeStore program. Under this program extra sofa, loveseat, and chair cushions will be donated to area humane societies, allowing the dogs a much more comfortable sleeping alternative to concrete floors covered with towels.

'Humane societies are non-profit organizations that depend primarily on private and public donations,' said Ben Monnin, co-owner of three Ohio Ashley Furniture HomeStores. 'They provide shelter and facilitate adoption of homeless dogs, educate the public about responsible pet ownership, and assist in prosecuting cases of animal abuse. We wanted to help.'

Animals awaiting adoption are temporarily housed in shelters; however, the floors are hard and uncomfortable. Shelters provide towels for some comfort, but a plush cushion provides even more coziness and warmth.

The Monnin owned Ashley Furniture HomeStores are currently working with three area humane societies in the communities where they have retail stores: Bellefontaine, Marion, and Mansfield, OH.

'Like humans, dogs also have personalities,' said Missy Houghton, shelter supervisor for the Richland County Humane Society. 'One Chihuahua thought her cushion was dinner. We're learning fast which of our residents are most receptive to Ashley's gift.'
