Kids who constantly ask for a new pet might just finally be able to get their way — and parents will too.

Rescue Tales, a new toy line from MGA Entertainment, lets kids feel like they’re really adopting a four-legged friend. MGAE is partnering with Best Friends Animal Society, a leading animal welfare group, as a part of its launch so the toy also has a real impact.

“Rescue Tales offers an opportunity for kids to play a role in rescuing and taking care of a new pet,” said Isaac Larian, CEO and Founder of MGAE. “One of the greatest lessons a parent can teach a child is the importance of helping others. As we developed the Rescue Tales product line, we wanted to reflect this idea by helping real homeless pets who need saving.”

Kids can adopt a dalmatian, golden retriever, rottweiler, or German Shepard. Each plush toy features adoption accessories, such as a collar and adoption certificate, real sounds and movement, and a colorful doghouse that kids can color and decorate. The soft, cuddly pups are a realistic addition to the family raise real awareness of the importance of rescuing pets.
