Pocket Pitties by CharlieDog and Friends are a group of seven plush stuffed animals based on real Pit Bulls from the shelter system. Each Pocket Pittie is lovingly inspected and dressed with a unique “Adopt” collar bracelet, a unique accessory that you can remove and wear yourself as a bracelet. The bracelets are made of 100% cotton Michael Miller fabric and are embroidered with the word “Adopt”. Wear one, and you’ll quickly find yourself in a conversation with a stranger about the pets you’ve both adopted and the lives you’ve saved. Included with your purchase is a postcard of the real-life dog, and his/her story, and a Facebook card for Bruised Not Broken (who welcomes your friendship). All Pocket Pitties are 7 inches when seated, and 9 inches from the top of their head to the bottom of their toes. They are made of super-soft velour, with embroidered features and no plastic parts. They’re machine washable, but you may want to simply spot clean them. They’re weighted with little beans, but they’re not baggy. 15% of each Pocket Pittie sold is donated to Bruised Not Broken, as it continues to save “death row” pups while advocating for this most misunderstood family pet. Pocket Pittie “Willow” is a stuffed animal version of a diminutive pit bull rescued from New York City Animal Care and Control through the rescue efforts of Zani’s Furry Friends, an NYC rescue group, and Bruised Not Broken. The shelter had quickly moved this precious girl to the dreaded “List”, because she’d contracted the easily-cured kennel cough. Her Mom writes: “We’ll never know how this beautiful soul ever found herself at the shelter, but what a scary place it was for her. She had only hours left when we first saw her, and through the heroic efforts of a whole network of amazing people, we were able to bring her home to Upstate New York. She now spends her days playing with her Pittie brother, Boo and lounging around in front of a fire or on one of her many couches. She’s loving, loyal, and a blessing to share our lives with. Willow isn’t man’s best friend….she’s an entire family’s best friend.”
