STUFFED PLUSHIES
BASED ON REAL, ADOPTED PETS
The Shelter Pets Story
The idea of Shelter Pets was inspired by my dog Chops. We adopted him in 2002 on a trip to the pet store to pick up a crate for a dog to be adopted later. We did not know they would have an adoption rally that day, and the rest is history.
Shelter Pets is a line of plush animals based off of pets that have been adopted or rescued through non-profit shelters/rescues. Our mission is to promote animal adoptions and to help raise money and awareness for shelters and rescues
For every Shelter Pet sold, 5% of net sales will be donated to the shelter that each pet was adopted from and 5% will be donated to the shelter that referred the sale. If no shelter refers the sale, the full 10% will go to the shelter of the purchased Shelter Pet.
