The Story of Bo: An Addition to the Family

Losing our beloved dog Toffee after five wonderful years was heartbreaking. She passed away suddenly from a brain seizure, leaving me and our other dog, Becca, devastated. Becca especially struggled without her mate, and after months of mourning, my vet suggested getting another dog.

We first tried fostering a senior dog, but there was no spark with Becca. Then, a miracle happened! I saw a post online from my dog rescue group about a young pup found on the streets—who looked just like a baby Becca. Hoping this resemblance would ignite some motherly instincts in Becca, I decided to foster him.

Enter Bo, the adorable one-year-old pup who turned our world upside down. Bo was quite the handful—untrained, marking his territory all over the house, and snapping at everyone. But we persisted with love and patience. Slowly but surely, Becca began to return to her old self.

Now, after two years, Bo and Becca are inseparable snuggle buddies! Bo still has his quirks—lifting his leg where he shouldn't and barking at other dogs—but he's also the most lovable, adorable dog who craves affection. He makes us laugh every day and showers us with endless love.

We are so grateful to have Bo as part of our family. He brings joy, laughter, and love into our lives every single day.

    We had Puppy Love come to two of our corporate events, and it was a big hit! The team themselves were great to plan and coordinate with, and the puppies were so adorable! We had employees messaging us and telling us it was their favorite part of our event. The set up in our office also went very smoothly. They took great care with tarps and fencing to make sure our office stayed clean. Couldn't recommend them enough for your next event!

    We had an amazing experience with the Puppy Love team! Our employees were thrilled and had tears of joy when seeing and interacting with the puppies. It brought a playfulness energy to our Open Enrollment fair and was a huge draw to get folks to our event and learn something new about their benefits. Looking forward to having them back at our next event!

  • We had Puppy Love come to our office for a team event and it was an absolute HIT! They brought the most adorable, friendly puppies for everyone to cuddle and play with. The team had the best time playing with the puppies and couldn't stop talking about it and sharing pictures for days after. The team from Puppy Love was very professional and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly and it was such a fun experience. I highly recommend Puppy Love if you're looking to boost morale and bring some happiness to the workday!

    We invited Puppy Love as a wellness event for two teams at Google. We all had so much fun with Puppy Love and the puppies were also so happy at the end of the day. Shelley and her crew of Puppy Coaches were great to work with and very professional. The set up was quick, they made sure the space was very clean, and all of the puppies and people were happy. I highly recommend them as a great vendor to work with and it's for a great cause as well.

  • Puppy Love brought so much love and joy to our employees. They were so easy to work with. I was able to book them easily and they were very clear and responsive. They set-up and take-down everything! Just point them to where they will be and they will do the rest. All trainers were so attentive to the puppy care and you can tell they all enjoy doing what they do. I definitely recommend to book them for a "stress free" day at work.

    We hosted a Puppy Love party at my workplace, and it was truly unforgettable. The joy on our employees' faces was so magical. The organization is so well prepared, comes ready to set up the entire play area, and keeps an eye on the puppies and any messes throughout the entire event. They also manage the line for you, so it's truly an effortless event. I highly recommend working with Puppy Love! An added plus is supporting a women-owned business!!

    Puppy Love Party is truly an amazing experience worth every penny and minute. You're not only supporting the rescue operations but you're boosting the morale of your attendees, creating a loving environment for puppies and you become so filled with joy for being able to host an event like you just don't want it to end! This team knows exactly what they're doing - from initial discussions to event clean up to even taking the most fabulous event photos! We've had them twice so far and I can't wait to continue to bring them back to our office for future events. Our associates are on such a puppy high that the cheerful atmosphere is contagious. The feedback for both times was ecstatic and the teams have highlighted these events as the best one's we've hosted.

    We had the pleasure of having Puppy Love Party visit our office during National Stress Week, and it was an amazing experience! Shelley was incredibly responsive and worked seamlessly with our schedule to arrange the perfect time for our employees to enjoy some puppy therapy. The puppies were absolutely adorable, and our team had so much fun playing with them. It was the perfect way to reduce stress and bring some joy to the office. Highly recommend Puppy Love Party for any event—professional, easy to work with, and, of course, filled with the cutest puppies! Thank you for making our week extra special!

    We really enjoyed having Puppy Love at Cargill. It was definitely something different for us and we hope to do it again. Shelley, Joe, and Paris took care of everything and even provided us great pictures. The puppies were amazing, and I hope they enjoyed the cuddles and kisses as much as we did!

    Puppy Love was such a wonderful partner bringing joy to our workplace! The folks at PL made planning easy, efficient and fun. They were incredibly professional, prepared and brought amazingly cute and cuddly puppies on site! I can't say enough how much I recommend this organization. While their prices are high, I think it's important to remember that the value of their efforts goes beyond the day of event. Part of the cost is a donation to the supporting shelters/orgs. It's common for these events to lean on non-profits that may not have the capacity to support a large event. PL had multiple staff on site to support our tenants and the pups. The value is there! The employees continue to rave about how fun the event was. We love Puppy Love and will certainly have them back in the future.

    Absolutely an amazing experience! The Puppy Love team was early, and was able to set up right next to our outdoor restaurant table. I was worried the space would be restrictive, but it was not! We held the puppies while standing or sitting at the table. This was no doubt the best experience our team has ever had. Everyone was so in love with the puppies, and we had such a great time spending this time with them! Who can resist puppies? Apparently no one, because strangers were walking by and stopped to take photos and ask about the puppies! I worked with Sabrina at Puppy Love to coordinate the event. I called her worried the experience might be lacking because of the restaurant space we reserved (the only one in the area that could take a large party + puppies), but she looked at the restaurant photos while on the phone with me and reassured me they could make it work, and she was absolutely correct! So glad I was able to leverage her expertise. The onsite Puppy Love team duo, were so friendly and engaging. They took photos of our team with the puppies, and answered all our questions. I would absolutely recommend working with Puppy Love! This was an unforgettable experience! Our team was raving about it for days!

    Puppy Love was the hit of our Happy Hour- they brought the joy and snuggles all our attendees needed to unwind from the day. One enthusiastic attendee went as far as describing it as "pure magic!" Their snuggle coaches made sure the pups didn't get overwhelmed and everyone got their turn to feel the puppy love. They made the planning super easy, worked directly with the venue manager to find an area, arrived on time, and shared photos of our guests!

Even the most conscientious workplace can be stress-filled. We believe cuddling and playing with puppies is an ideal way to restore the balance. In fact, scientific studies have shown positive therapeutic effects from animal interaction – including decreasing blood pressure and reduced levels of cortisol.
