Hello everyone!
Welcome to Stuffed Friends Sanctuary!
At SFS, we believe all stuffed animals deserve loving homes and deserve to have peaceful lives free from garbage cans, grubby handed children, and overeager Chihuahuas. We are a non-profit foundation whose core mission is to provide, or find, forever homes for wayward stuffed animals.
The sanctuary is primarily run by Toby, a 30yo autistic person, and is based in NY.
We rescue all types of animals here at the sanctuary, from very old to very new, from rabbits and dragons and everything in between!
We may have some friends available for adoption into forever homes, and if you are interested in providing these friends a forever home, please contact us via DM. Friends eligible for adoption will be marked as such, and will receive a separate post noting that they are adoptable. Any adoption fees will be noted in the post. Potential adoptees will be screened prior to adoptions being finalized, and all adoptions are on a first-fit, first-served policy.
********************
There are a few rules for following the sanctuary:
Please don't tap on the glass, it scares the tiny friends.
Please practice kindness. Some of our friends are very anxious and will not come out for photos if there are mean, hateful, bigoted, or not-work-friendly people here. We do not like to stop people from visiting, but we may have to prohibit entry to certain types of blogs, namely those that may be distressing, disturbing, or triggering to our more sensitive visitors.
We do not allow sexualized comments of any kind. Security will kindly escort you to the exit should you exhibit these behaviors while in the sanctuary. Please be mindful that there are younger folks who like to visit the sanctuary, and we would like to "keep it clean".
We welcome and recognize all genders, sexualities, identities, and orientations! OSOR (objectum), systems (of all varieties), and non-sexual age regressors included; we feel that sometimes these folks get left out of certain spaces, and we would like to reiterate that you are absolutely welcome into the sanctuary!
Visitation hours are from 10am-8:30pm Eastern Standard Time, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Please no food, beverages, flash photography, or selfie sticks in the sanctuary. We have restrooms, drinking fountains, and service animal relief areas marked on our sanctuary maps. A complimentary map copy is available at Guest Services. Smoking is strictly prohibited. Translator and interpreter services are available upon request.
Please make sure not to feed the friends, and to be aware of all warning signs. Some of our friends love to taste things, so be aware of any dangling straps, shiny body jewelery, and scarves. Our visually impaired friends might mistake your shawl for a tasty snack!
Please stay on the marked paths! Erosion is a serious problem, and we want to keep our ecosystem in tip-top shape for future generations.
Pictures of our friends generally post between 10am and 8pm Eastern Standard Time. We try for at least one post a day!
If there are any questions, please contact Toby, the sanctuary owner. They will be glad to assist you with anything you may need, or any clarification!
Thank you for visiting, and we hope you enjoy our friends!
