We celebrate the positive impact that our four-legged friends bring to the office, from reducing stress to fostering teamwork. Whether it’s a wagging tail or a gentle purr, our pets remind us to take a moment to relax and connect with one another.
Please take a moment to meet our four-legged support.
Pepe Adams
Assistant to Kari Adams
Pepe came into my life in 2012 when I found him on the streets at just six months old, and he's been my best friend ever since. He joined me at a time when I needed him most, bringing comfort during my mom’s battle with brain cancer. Since then, we’ve been inseparable—traveling across many states and exploring national parks together. Pepe’s favorite activities include cuddling, doing zoomies on the beach and cruising in my bike basket, enjoying the wind in his hair. This resilient little guy was there for me again during my dad’s illness and proved his strength when he survived a month-long stay in a specialty hospital after an attack in 2023. Today, Pepe continues to live life with joy and is always by my side, reminding me daily of the power of love and friendship.
Finnegan Stratz
Assistant to Taylor Stratz
Finn is an 8-month-old little squirt. He joined our family in July and has unleashed his playful spirit and endless kitten energy on our lives and we are so grateful! He loves cardboard boxes and hair ties. Finn’s favorite pastime is hanging in the backyard chasing crickets and watching birds. He can come, sit, high-five, and is currently learning to jump on command (for a treat, of course).
Charles Cosier
Assistant to Meghan Cosier
Meet Charlie, the lovable two-year-old Cockapoo who brings joy and laughter wherever he goes! He has fluffy caramel coat and big, expressive eyes. Charlie loves visiting the office, seeing his work friends, checking the kitchen for snacks, getting his head pet, and curling up on his favorite chair to watch the world go by.
Roscoe Sandoval Gomez
Assistant to Audri Sandoval Gomez
Roscoe is a 6-year-old English Chocolate Lab. He loves to take walks to sniff every tree, although isn’t a fan of putting on his leash. He is a snack connoisseur and will sit by the weakest link at dinner time. He is the sweetest boy who enjoys to sunbath, roll in the grass, and people watch from the front window. If you can’t find Ros, you just need to find his dad, as he never leaves his side.
Kookie Jung Nguyen
Assistant to Michelle Nguyen
Hi! I'm Kookie Jung Nguyen, a two-year-old playful cockapoo named after BTS. I enjoy going on walks and playing with all kinds of animals. While I'm a bit wary of pools, I absolutely love splashing around in sprinklers!
Bentley Perez
Assistant to Jill Perez
Bentley is the distinguished elder of the family at 10 years old, gracefully embracing his gray beard with wisdom and charm. A true connoisseur of fine cuisine, his palate is picky, with a soft spot for tuna straight from the can. Veggies, eggs, and kibble? Not worth his attention. His favorite pastime is burrowing under the covers for a snuggle session, often initiated by a gentle but unmistakable tap on his mom’s head to let her know it’s cuddle o’clock. At home, he’s a loving cuddle bug, but at the dog park, Bentley transforms into a fearless leader, bravely bossing around dogs 10 times his size with no hesitation.
Lily Perez
Assistant to Jill Perez
Lily, the 3-year-old baby of the family, is as pretty as a picture and lovingly known as “the face of the family”. But don’t be fooled by her delicate appearance—Lily is a tomboy through and through. With her Ewok-like looks and playful spirit, she has a strong aversion to dresses and loathes the feeling of wet grass on her paws. Stairs? Only if there’s a delicious treat waiting at the top! Lily enjoys showing off her irresistible cuteness during walks. She cleverly lures other dogs in with her charm, only to surprise them with a sudden lunge that sends them scurrying away. Despite her mischievous antics, she’s a true sweetheart through and through.
Summer Psaki
Assistant to Debra Russell
Summer Psaki is our family's rose-complected corn snake (and expert escape artist). She arrived early in pandemic and reminded us (okay, mom) of a favorite red-headed figure, hence her two-part moniker. When she is not sunning herself, she is probably plotting her next adventure around the house.
