Rescue Pets Just Born

Rescue Pets Just Born toys are interactive, plush dogs by MGA from 2007. Only one cat with mechanical eyes is known to have been planned for the line, but no actual photos of it appear to have surfaced (aside from it appearing on the back of a box). In the U.K., the official name is: Rescue Pals Just Born.

A newer version of these toys was sold under the "Cute Lil' Pups" brand by Little Tikes (owned by MGA), years later.

Versions

I'm not sure if there are more.

Features

They open their eyes when you pet them on the head, they cry when you hold them in one of your hands, can be fed with their bottle, and they will burp and go to sleep after you finish feeding them.

They also come with an adoption certificate to fill in and a sticker for the name tag, which you can label.

Website Photos

MGA's website on the Wayback Machine, an Amazon listing, a description on toydirectory.com, and comparestoreprices.co.uk have these odd images. Most of the toys pictured clearly don't have moving eyes. I don't even know if the dalmatian pictured has mechanical eyes or if they're stuck on.

I wonder if the plushies here are design mockups.

An Alternate Version (Spotted on 4/5/2025)

Turns out plushies without mechanical eyes for this toyline were released. o_o

Apparently, the dog one is a Rottweiler and the other one here is a "Tabby Kitten". I don't know if there were more of these released, or if they were released outside the U.K.
