Shelter Takes Dogs Out for Puppuccinos to Encourage Adoption and Make Your Day

Volunteer Molly Clark cooked up a wonderful scheme to encourage adoption at the Kitsap Humane Society. She’d take shelter dogs on fun outings, and turn it into amazing social media buzz. Once a week, Clark takes an adoptable dog to the Bucklin Hills Starbucks for a ‘puppuccino’ and photo op. (Starbucks gives dogs these whipped cream treats for free!) She then posts the adorable pictures to Instagram. The result? Pure joy—and more dogs finding forever homes. Win-win.

Looking for a dairy-free whipped cream treat for your dog? We’ve got you covered with our Coconut Puppaccino recipe here.

Dogs who enjoy car trips are chosen especially for the weekly outings. The trips are a great escape from the stress and monotony of shelter life.
