Real shelter dogs write to your child each month, sharing their stories and encouraging kindness toward animals - with stickers and a plush toy included.

Mailbox Mutts is a uniquely heartwarming children's subscription where letters are written in the voice of real shelter dogs awaiting adoption. Each month, a different dog tells its story, shares what life at the shelter is like, and encourages the child to be kind to animals. The subscription includes stickers, a plush toy, and information about how to help shelter animals. A portion of proceeds supports animal rescue organizations.

A handcrafted letter arrives each month featuring a different wild animal, complete with collector cards, stickers, how-to-draw instructions, and a postcard to send to a friend.

Writings from the Wild is a one-woman operation run by Nicole, a former homeschooling mom whose hand-drawn animal letters have shipped to over 37 countries and all 50 US states. Each letter is traditionally created with pencil and paint, featuring a different animal from a different biome each month. The premium subscription adds die-cut stickers, a postcard, and sketchbook files showing scientific classification. A portion of profits goes to wildlife conservation organizations. With over 200 five-star reviews, it is one of the most respected children's mail subscriptions available.
