Stuffed Animal Shelter Launched As Fun Alternative to Live Pet Adoptions

Interactive stuffed animal pet adoption website aims to offer a fun alternative to adopting live pets while helping to support real animal shelters in the process.

Chicago (PRWEB) October 22, 2007 -- StuffedAnimals.com, Inc., a leading Internet retailer of stuffed animals, today announced the launch of Stuffed Animal Shelter, a new online stuffed animal pet adoption service that aims to offer a fun and playful alternative to adopting live pets from real animal shelters. Stuffed Animal Shelter allows visitors to adopt a stuffed animal dog or cat at www.stuffedanimalshelter.com , and have the pet delivered directly to their house. Each adoption includes a free Adoption Cerstufficate, a free Stuffed Animal Shelter Club Membership, free pet registration and a free coupon for their next visit to Stuffed Animal Shelter. After their newly adopted pet arrives, stufftomers (their term for customers) can return to Stuffed Animal Shelter where they can register their pet in the Stuffed Animal Shelter Adoption Registry and receive their pet's official adoption records via email. Stuffed Animal Shelter allows stufftomers and their pets to interact with the site in other ways as well, including staying in touch by way of the Stuffed Animal Shelter Club and an adoption counter that displays how many pets have been adopted.

A portion of every stuffed animal adoption at Stuffed Animal Shelter will be donated to local animal shelters. Stuffed Animal Shelter hopes their donations will help the efforts of real animal shelters by offering financial aid and bringing awareness to pet related issues facing animal shelters. At the same time Stuffed Animal Shelter sees itself as fun and realistic alternative to adopting a live pet for both kids and adults alike.

"A real pet requires an incredible amount of dedication and responsibility from their owners to love, feed and care for them. Younger owners and their parents often times don't realize how much responsibility there is until they've already brought their new pet home. That's why many pets end up being giving to animal shelters in the first place," said Alan Townsend, CTO of StuffedAnimals.com, Inc., parent company of Stuffed Animal Shelter. "Stuffed Animal Shelter allows kids and adults alike to get the same rewarding feeling of pet ownership, without all of the responsibility of adopting a live pet. In addition, we're offering new stuffed animal pet owners a unique adoption experience where they can interact with their pets through Stuffed Animal Shelter and our site features."

Stuffed Animal Shelter plans to develop even more interactivity on the site as its stufftomer base develops over time. Tentative plans include an online community that will allow adoptive parents and their pets to interact with one another and holding special events exclusively for Stuffed Animal Shelter Club members. Stuffed Animal Shelter plans to release more site features as they're developed to keep stufftomers and their pets engaged and returning to the site on regular basis.
