Soft-toy “adoption” company gives old stuffed animals a second life

In 2016, Charlotte Liebling was volunteering at a thrift shop in London, England. Thrift shops sell secondhand items. Often, they donate the money they make to people in need.

Liebling noticed that many people dropped off stuffed animals, or stuffies. Some call them plushies, too. People brought teddy bears, rabbits and other plush animals in good

condition. Some were sold, but most of the well-loved soft toys were thrown away.

Liebling loves plushies. Her favorite was a stuffed dog named Soppy that she had relied on for comfort since she was 8 years old.
