Adopt a Stuffie is a project created by 11-year-old Noa that gives gently-loved stuffed animals a second chance through adoption while supporting meaningful causes.

Donated stuffies are reviewed, cleaned if needed, photographed, and prepared for adoption into a new home.

We currently accept gently-loved stuffed animals that are:

• Clean
• In good condition
• Free of major damage
• Safe for children

Often yes. We'll evaluate each donation individually and determine whether it can be prepared for adoption.

Yes. Our donation form includes a question about extra-large stuffies so we can plan accordingly.

No. Stuffed with Purpose is a social enterprise, not a nonprofit organization, so donations are not tax deductible.

We're currently collecting donations in South Florida through scheduled donation events.

Join our Stuffie Donation List to receive information about upcoming collection opportunities.

We will eventually expand out to accepting nationwide mailed donations.

A stuffie adoption is the process of giving a donated stuffed animal a new home with another child or family.

We dedicate 25% of every adoption fee to meaningful causes connected to the type of stuffie adopted.

We support causes related to:

• Animals
• Wildlife
• Ocean conservation
• Children and families

As our program grows, we'll share updates about the organizations we support and the impact we're making together.

Millions of stuffed animals are outgrown every year.

We believe those cherished friends still have stories left to tell. By giving them a second chance, we can reduce waste, create joy, and make a positive impact.

Stuffed with Purpose was founded by Noa after a school Market Day project inspired her to find a way for stuffed animals to continue bringing joy while helping others.

We're always looking for families who want to support our mission by donating stuffed animals, spreading the word, or connecting us with community organizations. Contact us to learn more.
