CleverCycle

At CleverTails, we know how powerful play can be—especially for dogs in foster care or shelters who are adjusting to new surroundings and preparing for a fresh start.

With CleverCycle, you can send your dog's gently used, functional CleverTails toy back to us, and we’ll pass it along to local rescues and foster carers—like those at North Queensland Animal Rescue—to support dogs on their journey to a forever home.

As a thank you, you’ll receive a free treat bag with your next order!

Why It Matters

Dogs in foster homes are often recovering from big changes—new environments, unfamiliar people, or difficult pasts. A simple toy can make a world of difference. Here’s how your recycled toy helps:

Confidence Building

Many foster dogs are shy or uncertain in new environments. Interactive toys help them succeed at small tasks, building confidence through positive reinforcement and reward-based play.

Bonding With Foster Carers

Playtime encourages connection. Our toys help foster dogs form healthy, trusting relationships with their temporary families—essential for emotional recovery and a successful adoption.

Mental Stimulation

CleverTails toys challenge their brains, offering problem-solving activities that reduce boredom and prevent destructive behaviours.

Calm & Comfort

Moving into foster care can be stressful. Sniffing and seeking activities activate a dog’s “seeking system,” releasing dopamine and easing nervousness. Toys help dogs feel calmer and safer in their new space.

How It Works

Send us your clean, gently used toy and we will make sure it meets the CleverCycle criteria. If it is fit for a new home, we will send you a free treat bag within 7-14 days of receiving your toy.
