Arkansas Missouri Stuffed Animals For Emergencies

Because every child should be able to think: "I am safe."

Please go to http://www.stuffedanimalsforemergencies.org to find a donor accepting stuffed animals in your area.


Due to high demand we do not "rebirth" stuffed animals. We simply do not have the time or the manpower. If the animals are not of quality to be provided to children through an emergency responder or other organization, they are given to humane societies and animal across Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. Puppies love them!


In one way or another, every toy finds a home with a child (human, canine or feline) to love.

If you would like to send your stuffed animals to the US Military, please visit our Beanies For Baghdad  page. There you will learn all you need to know to  put your stuffed animals in the hands of children in Iraq, Kosovo or Afghanistan.

If you are planning to make a donation to us from outside of Missouri or Arkansas, please check out the following links to see if any of these organizations could be well served by your donation. We appreciate all donations and will certainly utilize them, however, it serves everyone's greater good to get stuffed animals closer to home whenever possible.
