This custom dog is a crochet stuffed animal, handmade by Sarah of sarah's little zoo. Please visit the gallery to see examples of custom pets.

How to order:
1. Add to your cart and purchase.
2. Send me a few photos from different angles via email (sarahslittlezoo@gmail.com). Make sure to include photos of particular markings you would like represented. Feel free to include breed information, specific details you would like included, and yarn color preferences in your email. We will work together to finalize a design plan.

Please note that because all animals are made-to-order, your animal may be slightly different than the one pictured. For custom animals, I will do my best to make a little version of your pet that looks just like them, however do remember these are made of yarn and will not be exact replicas. All animals are made in a smoke-free, dog-friendly home.

Approximately 8 inches tall when sitting and 12 inches long from head-to-toe when laying flat.

 

100% acrylic yarn + polyester fiber stuffing

Standard processing time is 3-6 weeks, however this depends on the volume of orders I have at the time. Feel free to message me for a more accurate shipping date.

Orders are shipped to US addresses via USPS. Tracking information will be uploaded to the order once the item ships. Shipments are sent to the address given at checkout unless otherwise notified.

​

Unfortunately, because each animal is made-to-order, no returns, refunds, or exchanges are accepted at this time. This also guarantees your item hasn't been in anyone else's possession prior to being yours. However, I want you to be completely satisfied with your animal, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 

 

Please visit our about page for more of our policies.

Spot cleaning recommended. Hand-wash and air-dry if needed. If washed, your animal may need to be re-shaped with your hands to reflect its original condition.

After a long journey in the mail, if your animal arrives a bit squished, you can easily re-shape it with your hands.

Keep away from pets and sharp objects. sarah's little zoo animals are durable, however they are made of yarn so if they are handled too roughly they could become damaged. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Please note that the 'shaggy' fur started out as loops and have been freshly snipped for the desired texture. Some initial shedding may occur.
