Ruffwear Expands the Pack with New Coworking Facilities<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n\n

They may be our best friends and constant companions, but dogs are so much more. Just ask Ruffwear. This Bend-based company doesn\u2019t just make dog equipment, it endeavors to \u201cdo well by doing good\u201d in all their business practices. <\/p>\n

Ruffwear put their philosophy into practice recently when they used Lottery-funded grants to create a new coworking space in Bend. The new space doesn’t just expand their own facilities, but just as importantly, serves as a hub for sharing and collaborating with other early-stage outdoor gear companies and even unrelated businesses. The project benefits not just Ruffwear, but a much broader section of Oregon\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n More About Economic Growth<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/header>\n\n\n\n\n
