Lovable Plastic Pets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Fiberglass Animals Will Charm You and Keep You Company

— June 22, 2014 — Art & Design
If you love animals and want to have a house full of pets but don’t want to have to worry about cleaning up the mess and being responsible for anyone but yourself at the moment, then these lovable fiberglass animals are the perfect solution to your dilemma. 

Created by ZOOZOO Animals creator and artist Elwira Lerche, the loveable fiberglass animals will brighten up your home or office minus the poop and shedding. The adorable animal sculptures may not be cuddly but they are completely waterproof and handcrafted using European materials. The ZOOZOO animals come in an array of bold colors and are made from 100% resin or fiberglass.

What makes these decorative pets so charming are their back stories; for example, Esmeralda the alligator is always hiding because she’s scared of turning into a handbag.
