For stuffed animals that have a tear or anything else that needs fixing, volunteers will be on hand to sew them up or apply a bandage.
The stuffed animal will have their name and information filled in on a blank ID bracelet and receive a health certificate following a physical examination.
Stuffed animals of any type are welcome.
