Our Story
When Gabby and Justin met 7 years ago in college they had no idea they'd be starting their new lives together. From then on, they always knew they wanted to connect people with someone to love. That's how Sweet Bear was created! So people can have a fun experience making their own stuffed bear from home with tons of customizable options.
Everyone here is a huge animal lover so it was a no-brainer to partner up with local animal shelters to help those in need. That's why with every purchase, we donate to help with food, adoption fees, and medical expenses.
We thank everyone who is able to join us on our journey to make an animal’s life a bit sweeter! Check out our TikTok to check out our recent adventures.

"Every Animal Has a Story"
This is our Sweet Bear motto. That's why we donate a portion of our profits from every purchase to our local shelters to help animals in need. Thank you for everyone for allowing us to pursue this passion of ours. If you would like to make a donation please check out the links below.
Ace Got A Second Chance
7 week old Ace was brought in after he was attacked by another animal. He was in critical condition with puncture wounds to his face and neck with bleeding from his ears. The veterinary team worked quickly to treat him and thanks to our community, he received the expert medical care that he needed. With loving care, he healed wonderfully and was adopted by a loving family.

Cat Rescued From Trailer
Pasadena Humane rescued more than 38 cats and kittens from a stationary travel trailer in Monrovia. The cats were living in cramped and unsanitary conditions inside a very small space with no air conditioning.
During the operation, Pasadena Humane staff worked to safely remove the cats from the home. The cats were transported back to the shelter, where they received medical exams before being placed into clean kennels with food, water, and fresh bedding.
The rest of the cats and kittens from the trailer continue to receive care and attention at the shelter. Unfortunately, over the weekend, one of the kittens tested positive for panleukopenia, a highly contagious viral disease that is often deadly for young cats. The poor kitten made it to them in the nick of time. Without veterinary treatment, it is unlikely he would have survived. All of the cats from the trailer have now been placed in quarantine to ensure that they stay healthy before moving on to their new homes.

Successful Adoption Day
31 dogs, 68 cats and 4 critters – a total of 103 animals – were adopted at Free Adoption Day on July 15, 2023. It was awesome to see such a great turnout from our community. People of all ages came together on a hot summer day to make sure that many animals go back to their happy new homes.
