Adopt a Doll

We have an ongoing mission called "Save the Dolls" which entails keeping as many dolls as we can out of thrift stores and the trash.  

Why this mission?

Over the last couple years we've seen prominent doll wig suppliers, doll hospitals, doll supplies, and independently owned doll companies go out of business.  When supplies and services cease to be available for dolls, we start to see more dolls get discarded and trashed.  When you don't have what you need to fix a doll, it's harder to resell or re-home and without a new owner, they just get dumped.

 

 What's the solution?

We know we can't save every doll, but every year we pick a doll brand and type that we think is "worthy of saving" and we create basic supplies so that the dolls can be fixed and restored.  This includes making that size of doll wig so that a dolly with bad hair can get new hair, developing repair kits, and supporting the doll in our doll hospital.  But not only that.  We've created a doll donation center to take in unwanted dolls and do the work on them in our hospital to ready them for new homes.  

What is the adoption fee for?

Each doll has a doll adoption fee to help support our cause.  Adoption fees cover any expense incurred in our hospital to prepare the doll for a new home. Any proceeds left go towards saving more dolls, developing products for doll restoration, and supporting members in our network who dedicate themselves to saving dolls.  The doll's description will tell what services we have done to the doll and it's condition.

When you adopt a doll...

When you purchase one of our dolls here for adoption, you are helping the cause.  Whether it is a gift for a loved one or for yourself, you have rescued the doll to give it a new loving home.
