Meaning & Story

From the English 'crush' — evoking the sudden, overwhelming feeling of falling hard for something irresistible, playful and full of affectionate energy.

Crush is the name for the dog who gets you every single time. There's something about Crush that perfectly captures that helpless, joyful feeling of being completely smitten — which is exactly how most people feel about their dogs anyway. It's playful, modern, and just edgy enough to be interesting without being trying. Crush is also the beloved sea turtle from Finding Nemo, adding a pop culture cool to the name. Totally rad, dude.
