Refused Reused & Human Society of Southern Arizona


Refused Reused donated over 100 cushions to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona for their pet beds. The cushions were stained from the leather that we removed. Otherwise they were in PERFECT condition. We still have four boxes to go through and three more boxes waiting to be shipped. Please visit our website http://www.refusedreused.com/ for more information.
