Coqui Frog Necklace

This necklace was made to honor our rescued dog, Coqui.

Coqui was a street dog in Puerto Rico and named after the 'coqui' frog.

An adorable TierraCast brand silver-lated pewter frog charm (3/4 inch long) is paired with a genuine garnet and carnelian gemstone stack drop. Stainless steel chain, jump rings and lobster clasp. Your choice of 16, 18 or 20 inches long. 

** These are made to order so please allow 3 production days. 

I also offer gift packaging .. just add it to your order.

** Note: please do not use discount codes on fundraiser items. The discount has to be taken out of their donation if you do. Thank you.

$7 of every Coqui necklace sold will be donated to Adventure Satos Rescue.

I specifically chose garnet and carnelian for this necklace because of their mystical properties and meaning. I thought they spoke to Coqui's past struggles and her journey from a street dog to a loving forever home. 

The Story Of Coqui

In May 2016, Andrea, a volunteer. regularly goes back to her home town in Puerto Rico to help feed, get vetting, and find rescue for as many stray street dogs as possible with her own personal funds. This trip was different, one little pocket pittie captured her heart like no other had. She was tiny, malnourished, dangerously underweight, and seeking out human contact/affection over food. Andrea refused to leave her behind. Once in the states, Rachel & Fernando stepped up as foster parents to give this sweet soul a warm bed, love, and the patience she needed to heal. (and they did an amazing job!).

** Andrea has since created her own rescue, Adventure Satos

Rachel gave her the name 'Coqui' after a Puerto Rican frog, because she does an adorable hopping dance at meal time. She is just so excited! We loved the uniqueness of the name and decided to keep it. It's a perfect conversation starter when someone asks what it means. It gives us the opportunity to talk about Puerto Rican street dogs and the choice to adopt over purchasing a pet.

In May of 2016, Brian and I saw a dog we were interested in meeting and we began the application process which included a written application, a phone interview, reference checks, background checks, vet calls, and a home visit. Once we were approved, our contact, Lynette, let us know that the orginal dog we had an interest in was not going to work for us but she suggested that Coqui might be just what we were looking for. We set up a meet & greet where Coqui met our dog, Sam and it was determined they would probably do well together. Sam passed away in March of 2017.

We took Coqui on a foster-to-adopt agreement on June 6, 2016. On July 8, 2016, we officially adopted her.

Coqui is an absolute delight. She's very mellow and sweet. She wants nothing more than belly rubs and a soft place to sleep.
