We sorta make them up as we go alone according to the particular animal we have. Just a brief note to say the animal needs a friend and would they be wiling to take care of them.

I occasionally buy stuffed toys that I see that are special somehow...extra soft, great color, very realistic. Up until now, I have always just kept them. Now, I know where thewy are going! What a great, loving idea. I know several firefighters, deputies and police officers and I know they will respond well to this! Thank you for such a great idea...I knew that someday all my special toys would go to good homes! I'm very excited!!!

Having worked on ambulances and ED's for 15yrs, I can tell you exactly how much special donations like this mean to a scared/frightened child. In a traumatic time, it's a little bit of soft, warm love coming their way and children instinctively respond to it. To everyone who has ever donated to programs like this......Thank You!
