May 20th is National Rescue a Dog Day, and here at Simply Stuffed, we’re wagging our tails with excitement to celebrate all the amazing rescue pups and the humans who love them!

At Simply Stuffed, we believe every animal deserves love, comfort, and a forever home—and that includes our plushies and our furry, four-legged friends. National Rescue a Dog Day is the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the power of second chances and the joy that rescue dogs bring into our lives.

🐕 Why Rescue?

Rescuing a dog doesn’t just save a life—it adds joy, purpose, and unconditional love to yours. Millions of dogs wait in shelters each year, hoping for a family to call their own. By adopting, you're giving them the gift of love, safety, and a place to belong.

🧸 Plushies with a Purpose

To celebrate this special day, we’re offering a limited-edition “Rescue Pup” plushie—a cuddly companion inspired by the bravery and resilience of real-life rescue dogs. Each plush comes with an adoption certificate and a name tag so your little one can give their new friend a loving home, just like a real rescue story.

Bonus: A portion of proceeds from each “Rescue Pup” sold this week will go toward supporting local animal shelters in our community.

🐾 How You Can Celebrate

• Adopt or Foster: Visit your local shelter and consider opening your heart to a rescue dog.
• Donate: Many shelters need supplies, food, and blankets—or simply a helping hand.
• Celebrate with a Stuffed Friend: Bring home a Rescue Pup plushie to teach your kids about compassion and the importance of giving animals a second chance.
• Share Your Story: Post a photo of your rescue dog or plushie and tag us @SimplyStuffedPlush with #SimplyRescued so we can share the love!

❤️ Giving Back with the Giving Tree

Don’t forget—our Giving Tree is always growing! When you visit our shop, you can sponsor a plushie to be donated to a child in need or a local rescue shelter’s fundraising event. It’s another way we spread kindness—one stuffed friend at a time.

Let’s use this National Rescue a Dog Day to bark up the right tree—kindness, compassion, and cuddly connections. Whether you’re snuggling a pup or a plush, today is about celebrating love that comes from the most unexpected places.

Happy National Rescue a Dog Day from all of us at Simply Stuffed!
