This article is just another reminder of why we need to restrain our pets while driving. Thankfully no one was hurt in the accident, but there was immense damage done to a small town liquor store, and not to mention the couples vehicle that crashed through the store’s front window.

Remember it is important for everyone to buckle up! People and pets alike.

MSPCA * Angell Walk for Animals

kurgo — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:39:48 +0000

The MSPCA – Angell Walk for Animals took place last week in Boston, Hyanis and Methuen. Over $350,000 dollars was raised this year to help homeless, abused and injured animals. Over 2,500 animal-lovers and 1,800 dogs joined statewide to promote and support. Kurgo got in on the action, attending the Newbury event at Spencer Pierce Little Farm and demoing the NEW Kurgo Winga. This month we were pleased to be able to provide product for the charity auction as well; the farm is truly a beautiful place and the hardworking volunteers did an amazing job making sure the fundraiser ran smoothly. Check out our pictures below!

The Spencer Pierce Little Farm is a national historic landmark located on 5 Little’s Lane in Newbury, Massachusetts. Kurgo donates to charities and not-for-profit organizations all over the country. If you know of a charity that needs product donations please have them E-mail donations@kurgo.com, or call (877) 847-3868.
