About Flip
Born from one very good dog.
Flip Coffee was created by pet rescue advocates Rocky Kanaka and his wife Kelly as a tribute to Flip, their remarkable boxer whose own life began in a shelter.
Flip became the steady, patient guide for foster dogs coming into their home, showing frightened dogs how to trust, play and embrace life again.
Flip knew what a second chance could do.
Flip came from a shelter sick with distemper. After getting his own second chance, he grew into the kind of dog every foster seemed to need: calm, wise, patient and completely trustworthy.
He became a mentor to the rescue dogs Rocky and Kelly welcomed into their home, helping them learn that people could be safe and that life could be good again.
That spirit is what Flip Coffee carries forward. His name is a reminder that patience, rehabilitation and one more chance can change a life.
Coffee with a higher purpose.
Flip Coffee brings together a daily ritual people love with a mission centered on shelter dogs, rehabilitation and second chances.
Rescue
Keep shelter dogs visible by sharing the stories of dogs who might otherwise be overlooked.
Rehabilitate
Celebrate the patient, hands-on work that helps scared and shut-down dogs learn to trust again.
Second Chances
Keep the focus on fostering, adoption and helping more dogs find the homes they deserve.
Pet rescue advocate and storyteller.
Rocky Kanaka is a pet rescue advocate, Emmy-nominated TV host and New York Times bestselling author. He travels to help dogs that have been forgotten, abandoned or abused, then shares their journeys with millions of viewers.
His series Sitting With Dogs follows the quiet work of earning a scared dog's trust, often simply by sitting beside them and giving them time. The stories have helped shine a light on fostering, rehabilitation and adoption.
After the success of the series, Rocky turned those experiences into a collection of real rescue stories that became a New York Times bestseller.
