Hi everyone! I run a nonprofit dedicated to upcycling fabrics into dog toys, which we've donated to shelters across Northern California. However, we are currently trying to increase our reach by mailing toys to more shelters and rescue organizations around the United States.

All our toys are made with clean, safe fabrics that are hand-checked before donation. We make both braided and woven rope toys, as well as plush toys which are sewn with filling and a squeaker inside. 

Please let me know if you would be interested, or feel free to contact my email below!

We would love to have dog toys to add to our raffle baskets that we offer in October at the national show. It is the only major fundraiser we have for the National German Wirehaired Pointer Rescue. We rescued about 12 dogs/year when we started and over 70 last year. We are on track to rescue and rehome over 100 this year. Due to increasing numbers and increasing medical needs, we are in need of major fundraising. Thank you so much.

Thank you!

Hi Olivia, 

Thank you for offering such a great opportunity.  We serve rural Northeast Arkansas.  It would be a blessing to receive toys.  Most of the dogs we work with have emotional and physical trauma.  Some have no clue what a toy is, but they quickly learn. 
Thank you again for the offer.

That's such a great idea. Do you take requests for specific toy types or sizes? Some of our larger dogs destroy most rope toys within minutes, so we're always looking for something tougher.

This is fantastic! Our team was just talking about how we need more toys for our pups (all dogs are pups!). If this is still available, I would love to learn more. Thank you!

Hi Olivia - What a wonderful idea.  I am a volunteer and foster home for Just Giants Rescue, Inc. based out of Oswego, Illinois.  We would love to receive some of your handmade dog toys.  Our focus is rescuing giant breed dogs, so the braided toys would be great for our fosters.  Please email me at nancyk@justgiants.org.
