Celebrate National Pet Month at Fort Thompson Sporting Goods!

Hey there, animal fanatics! Tired of the same old "hunt this, shoot that" routine? Look alive! This May, Fort Thompson Sporting Goods is celebrating National Pet Month, and guess what? We're barking mad about our furry friends too!

That's right, we're teaming up with the Sherwood Animal Shelter to throw a bone (figuratively, of course) to some awesome pups in need. We'll be collecting donations all month long, so swing by our store with some goodies and help these deserving doggos find their happily ever after.

(Psst... Our resident office dog, Ceyda, is spearheading this mission. She may or may not have hidden some extra squeaky toys in the donation box... just sayin')

Dog Hunting Gear

Look, we know you gotta keep your furry field partner happy, so don't worry, we haven't gone all Lassie on you. Hunters gotta hunt, right?

That's why we carry a killer selection of dog hunting gear.
