In celebration of National Pet Month, Build-A-Bear Workshop is expanding its Promise Pets line with various new plush pets.
The pet collection is also celebrating its first birthday and three new breeds including a Calico Cat, Dachshund and Westie have been added to the line.
Plus, the line features a complimentary mobile app, which is available on iTunes and Google Play, and will teach children how to care for a pet and become responsible pet owners.
Elsewhere, the company is also introducing Paw Patrol’s Skye in May, and will join existing Paw Patrol character’s Chase and Marshall.
Build-A-Bear Workshop is also partnering with the Petfinder Foundation, and is inviting shoppers to donate $1 at an in-store or online checkout to help make happy homes for shelter pets.
