Henry is…
licking
eating treats
playing with toys
loving his Mommy
spoiled
Henry | Top Dog
Henry does not work, but he is so incredibly cute that he can basically do and get away with anything he wants—just look at him! Although born in 2011, Henry looks like a permanent puppy. Despite his desire to cuddle and be around people every waking hour, when the scent of food enters the room, his dark passenger often emerges.
Floyd is…
very cute
constantly bumping his big head
burying a bully stick
dripping water everywhere
doing zoomies in the house
passed out
Floyd | Pitty
Floyd has two speeds; passed out or zooming at 60mph. Floyd began his career as a Philadelphia stray eventually making his way into the PAWS foster program. Once in care, his personality went on full display: playing, cuddling, smiling, and spreading happiness to those he touched. Floyd was permanently adopted as a puppy and eventually hired at Rethinc. He continues to shine and grow in his role at the company, invading everyone’s personal space, showing off his toys to his humans and subsequently destroying them all in less than five minutes (somehow, he even destroys zoo toys).
