I don’t know why Wonder is vegan, but I do know I love him. His goal is to bring a message of “vulnerability, compassion and courage” to the world! And with his new Kickstarter, we can all have a Wonder to call our own. He’s born from the Perfect Reject project; an endeavor by artist Nina Salerno to rescue and rehab discarded stuffed animals. They are ADORABLE. But none of the others seem to be vegan, just Wonder!
Also special to Wonder: 10{ae720e0b436026f867bfa0c31185c2252a138f27e85f5f152ec5acc1c10a8cc9} of proceeds from his sales will go toward a wolf-dog rescue, W.O.L.F. Sanctuary. Apparently there are a bunch of people willy nilly breeding wolf-dog hybrids and then a bunch of other people just buying them and having no idea how to care for them. So the W.O.L.F Sanctuary does their best to educate people about wolf-dogs and to rescue as many as they can. You have got to read the stories about their rescues, they are so cute! The sanctuary is very concerned about making sure each wolf-dog gets proper companionship once rescued and the matchmaking stories are so sweet—def read Sasha and Pax’s!
So if you’re looking for your new favorite Kickstarter, this is it!
UPDATE: I just emailed the creator regarding what materials would be used to make Wonder. Response: “he will be made of synthetic materials. NO animal products will be used.” YAY!
