What are the Pibborafi Rescue Heroes? What do they look like & How Do I Get One? Each Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushie is a recreation of a real rescued dog and embodies the owner's love and support of rescue. What do they look like? See them here.
"Owning a Pibb is like flying a little flag that says, 'we like animals more than people.' And your money goes toward saving more animals." — Pibb fan, Maryland
To get one, simply request an Invitation. We'll review your request and send you out an Invitation with a link to the store. 30% of net proceeds per dog goes toward the rescue the owner of that dog has chosen. Why Invitation Only? To better manage the incredibly small inventory of each Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushie, it is necessary to limit sales to invitation-only.
History of the Pibbs As our fans know, all Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushies serve, and exist because of, animal rescue. Each individual plush doggie symbolizes the doggie owner's commitment and love of rescue and animal care.
Granted, production of these plushies are intermittent and we're not able to predict when the next ones will be produced, but owning one means you support saving animals.
Every single doggie that appears as a Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushie has gone through heartbreaking abuse or neglect that most of us could not survive without a broken spirit. Yet these dogs not only survive .. they continue to love humanity. The Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushies celebrate this.

About
Pibborafi recreates real rescued dogs into palm-sized plush toys for children.
The dogs that become Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushies come from people and families who care deeply for animal rescue and go above and beyond in their support of rescuing and saving animals.
They know that the most important aspect of their life is to return the love their animal has for them.
By being selected as a Pibborafi, your dog joins a very exclusive group of animal lovers. A dog who is loved not only by their family, but by every person whom they meet.
How your dog can become the next Pibborafi Rescue Hero
When does the contest run?
Usually in the fall of each year. The date will be announced on Pibborafi's Instagram page with plenty of notice.
What are the qualifications that a dog has to meet?
They have to be a rescued dog and not purchased from a retail store or breeder.
How do I enter my dog?
Simply post a picture of your dog on your Instagram page with the hashtag #pibbpickmypup2024 then make sure to type their rescue story in the caption (keep it to one short paragraph). They are now entered in the contest.
How do winners get selected?
The date will be announced when the Pibborafi Studio will pick ten randomly-selected rescues from that hashtag to post on Pibborafi's Instagram page. From there, voting will open up to the fans and they will vote (by liking the post) who will be the next Pibborafi Rescue Hero plushie! The most votes wins! We have three categories based on the number of followers a dog has.
The winners are announced then the owners just have to sit tight while their pups are designed and put into production! 30% of net proceeds goes to help the rescue or shelter the owner's choose. The owners get one dozen of their plushies for free with free shipping.
Stuff you need to know if your dog gets selected
What happens first?
You will be notified by email that your pooch has either won one of our Contests, or has been randomly selected to become a Pibborafi Rescue Hero. So make sure you have updated us with your email. We will reach out to you also on Instagram DM.
Terms & Conditions
If your dog is selected by us, of course you have the option of declining to get your dog done. But if you agree to participate, you agree to allow Pibborafi to create a small production run (between 150 and 1000) of your plushie for the company to sell then donate a portion of proceeds to the rescue of your choice. You would not be compensated with any monetary return but Pibborafi will provide you with 12 of your plushies free with free shipping to your home or office.
Delivery delays of new pups may occur as the global supply chain continues to be volatile. You understand your plushie will be based upon your real pup as interpreted by our designers and not be an exact duplicate of your pup. You must be active on social media as it is possible media outlets may reach out to do a story on you and your pup. If your social media becomes inactive or dormant, you must notify us, otherwise the Studio could withdraw your pup and take them out of production.
The Pibborafi Rescue Heroes will only be here until August 2024.
Why is this happening?
The Studio needs to restructure production schedules and the Studio needs to halt operations in August to allow these changes.
Will I be able to buy Pibborafi Rescue Heroes after August 2024?
If there are still pups remaining in stock, then yes. But once they're gone, there will be no more.
