About Teeny's Friends

We provide toys for needy dogs! At Teeny's Friends our goal is to make sure that no dog ever has to go without the simple pleasure of chasing a ball or snuggling a plushie. Our mission was inspired by Teeny, my own rescue dog & our mascot. We raise toys through monthly toy drives & the sale of our One For One toy (when you buy one, we donate one). The toys we raise are then donated to rescue groups, animal shelters, and families in low income neighborhoods. Read on to learn how you can help us help needy dogs!

Purchase Your Own Official Teeny's Friends One-For-One Toy!

Each is only $4.99 and when you buy one, we donate one to a needy dog! Buy your own via PayPal in the right-hand column below. Buy for yourself, as a gift, or as a donation for your favorite animal organization!

July Toy Drive Underway!

As of yesterday morning, the Teeny's Friends toy bins are set up and ready at Emancipet! To the left, I have posted a picture of Teeny next to this months sign for everyone to see. Thanks in advance to everyone who donates- I know the cats and dogs at the Austin Humane Society will appreciate your generosity as well! & don't forget that if you would like to donate but are unable to, get in touch with us and we will work with you on making it happen!

Info About July's Toy Drive!

I am absolutely blown away by the response we've had to our little organization. Everyone in the animal-lover community has just been incredible. We had a great first response, and the Austin Humane Society (http://www.austinhumanesociety.org/) was so hospitable. Special thanks to Crystal Tysz who helped out enormously and was a big part in the success of June's toy drive.

July's toy drive has been scheduled! It will be held at Emancipet (
www.emancipet.org) and will benefit the Austin Humane Society. See what we did there? A little switch-a-roo! I will be placing the bins out at Emancipet on Saturday, June 27th and will be picking them up on Saturday, July 11th. There are lots of animals in the shelter at the Austin Humane Society, and they are in need of toys for the cats and dogs to play with.

Emancipet is located at:

7201 Levander Loop, Building J
Austin, Texas 78721

Photos From Humane Society Toy Drive

I took some photos when I got home of the toy bins I picked up from the Austin Humane Society. It was so much more full than expected, which made me very happy! Our poochies were so excited about having all those toys in the house; I think it was killing them not to dive in headfirst. I got a cute shot of them both peeking inside.






1st Toy Drive A Success!

I am pleased to announce that I just picked up our bin from our first toy drive and it was nearly full! Proud and happy to declare it a success. I will be posting pictures soon from the pile of toys, which will very soon be delivered to the lucky animals at Emancipet.
