Meet Coconut! Our September pup of the month and loving fur baby of Adam and Tiffany Daily. 🫶🏻

Coconut is a 2-year-old pug mix, likely part Chihuahua, who found her forever home on January 4, 2025, through Forever Home Dog Rescue (FHDR) in Edmonds, Washington. Originally a stray from Southern California (coincidentally from her mom’s hometown!), Coconut made her way north to FHDR and quickly captured hearts during her foster stay with Tiffany and Adam.

After years of searching for the right dog, her humans nearly lost hope—but the moment they saw Coconut on Instagram, they knew she was the one. When they met her, they fell head over heels. She gave them light and hope when they least expected it. She keeps them laughing and wondering what’s going on inside that little coconut of hers. In standard pug fashion, she makes all sorts of hilarious noises but rarely barks—except when the doorbell rings or a squirrel dares to mock her from the backyard. A minor Seattle celebrity, you can follow her adventures online at Coconut the Pugchi

Boogie and Stuart are our August pups of the month! They are loved beyond measure by their amazing pawrents, Aaron and Lacy Bell.

Boogie (5½) and Stuart (11 months) are two energetic pit mixes who found their forever home through Seattle Animal Shelter. Boogie joined the family in September 2021 (pandemic pup) after a few stays in the shelter, while Stuart came a bit later in July 2025 as a foster transfer—and it didn’t take long for the family to realize he was a “foster fail” and meant to stay. Boogie quickly welcomed Stuart, matching his puppy energy while showing him who’s top dog. Together, they bring joy, energy, and companionship to the household, and even help teach responsibility to their teenage family member. True to their dance-inspired names, Stuart (aka Disco Stu) loves learning new tricks, and Boogie is always eager to demonstrate and teach him the best moves.

Our July calendar spotlight is Ms. Riley! She is the beloved fur baby of Nancy Thai and Eric Whitmire. We wish her the best birthday month! Ball anyone?
 
Riley is a 5-year-old pittie mix who came into the world as the daughter of a pregnant rescue from Texas and was adopted at 8 weeks from her fosters in Blaine, WA through Three Little Pitties Rescue. This brindle “gnocchi gremlin” is a true soul dog—full of joy, laughter, and endless cuddles. Riley adores people and has a deep emotional capacity. She is loved beyond measure and is the best adventure buddy. True to pittie form, this princess pittie hates the PNW rain and wants nothing more than full body contact snuggles, preferably while smothered under a blanket.
