Our story begins with Coal, a remarkable Black English Labrador whose gentle spirit and unconditional love inspired an idea that became something bigger. Coal’s Goals was built in his honor—a way to help pet parents stay connected, be intentional, and cherish the moments that matter most. Coal wasn’t just a dog; he was a companion, a source of comfort, and a constant reminder that joy lives in life’s quiet, everyday moments. He was the perfect blend of sweet and spirited—funny, playful, and always ready to turn an ordinary day into something special.

Founded by Bonnie Porter, a technology professional and devoted pup mom, Coal’s Goals blends thoughtful design with real-life experience. Bonnie’s mission is simple: to create a platform that celebrates the bond between pets and their humans, helping families live happier, more connected lives—one goal (and one wag) at a time. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or a playful run in the yard, every moment together deserves to be cherished.

And now, meet Remy—our 15-month-old superstar and the heartbeat of today’s Coal’s Goals. Affectionately known as “Chocolate Thunder,” Remy serves as our Chief Executive Pup and the joyful force that keeps our mission energized. He is incredibly smart, endlessly sweet, and full of the vibrant, playful spirit that makes life with him unforgettable. Remy loves his toys, adores people and other pups, and even enjoys magical mornings at Disney World. His enthusiasm, loving nature, and boundless energy remind us every day why this app matters.

Inspired by Coal, led by Remy.

Coal’s Goals was born out of love and the belief that every wag matters. Coal inspired the vision—and Remy keeps us smiling and moving forward every day.

Today, our Board of Directors (a very prestigious panel of pups), alongside our Chief Executive Pup Remy, continue to guide our spirit of joy, love, and companionship.

Coal’s Goals is not just an app—it’s a movement to create lasting, joyful memories with our pets.
