This section contains an eternally-incomplete list of stores that either carry only plush animals, or have an unusually large selection of them (such as the toystore FAO Schwarz). If you know of a store not on this list, or have additional information on one that is, please send it! Plushies can also usually be found in toy stores, card and gift shops, and novelty gift shops such as Spencer's. Also, any fair sized zoo will usually have a good selection, as do most amusement parks.

Most of them only sell to retailers and not to individuals. But generally if you are looking for a product, most manufacturers will be happy to answer questions about where to find the nearest retailer in your area that carries their line. There's also a short listing of makers of fake fur at the end. This can be useful for making your own plushies, costumes, or various other things - covering furniture, using it as a carpet, wrapping someone up in it, etc. etc. Fake fur can usually be obtained at most fabric stores. If they don't have the kind you want, ask and see if they can order it for you.
