Countless animal plush toys offer comfort but Fahlo goes further by integrating animal tracking technology and supporting wildlife conservation efforts, turning cuddly companions into a cause for good.
Joining plushes in the shape of sea turtles, polar bears, and elephants is a new wolf plush—The Scout Plush—that follows the journey of a Red Wolf. As fewer than 20 wild Red Wolves remain, the tracking experience uses representative historical data provided to Fahlo by partners at AZA SAFE: Saving Animals from Extinction Red Wolf. Plush toy stuffing is made from recycled water bottles and Fahlo donates 10% of all profits to its nonprofit partners.
Fahlo has been nominated for Plush Toy of the Year by the prestigious Toy Foundation.
