Pop Art Pet Unleashed

The very first Original Sock Dog was handcrafted in July 2005 by Stacey Hsu for “Art Unleashed” an annual art auction to benefit the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City where she is a regular volunteer.

Stacey, artist and animal lover, got her start sewing as an intern at Disneyworld, sewing names on hundreds of mouse ears! Now she has created a pound-full of plush pups, and she has donated a portion of each and every Sock Dog sale to the Humane Society and other no-kill animal shelters.

You can get one of sockdogs.com‘s adorable, available adoptees, that you can see in the Sock Dogs shop. Or for a little more you can do what we did, send Stacey a few pics of your pup and have a custom creation – a Sock Dog that looks like YOUR dog!

And talk about attention to detail.. the Kylie Jr.’s have a tag with her name on it and even some of the same spots! They also came with a tag telling her story (click the image below to see a larger version and read for yourself).

Stacey was great to work with, and I would recommend her services to anyone. And she does so much to help homeless pets! Please visit her blog, where she constantly posts stories and information to raise awareness about animals in need. We encourage you to support her in her efforts and adopt an Original Sock Dog today!

PS: In case you were wondering… Yes, there are also Sock Cats!
