Employee Appreciation Days

You value your employees and have been searching for the perfect way to show them you appreciate all of the hard work they do. Employees are the heart and soul of your business, and retaining good employees key to success. With burnout rising and job turnover at an all time high, it is important you find meaningful ways to show team members you see their talents and desire to keep them growing with your company. Let Puppy Love provide wonderful wellness activities to show your employees that you care about their health and wellbeing while you appreciate the immense work they do for your company.

At Puppy Love, we provide an easy, safe and fun space for employees to engage with rescue puppies. Pups play and hang out with humans to provide a comforting experience and support for those experiencing stress in their personal or work life. This leads to healthier employees who will associate that support with their workplace.

Puppies are also a social activity! Employees can bond with their coworkers while cuddling a pup and discovering the cute little things each pup does. Many people have memories of an important dog in their life, and a Puppy Love experience can help initiate conversations about those dogs, which leads to strengthening employee bonding and relationships.

Research shows that positive feedback from company executives causes employees to feel more appreciated than when they only receive compliments and acknowledgments from their managers. However, with the rising popularity of remote and hybrid options, it is sometimes difficult to get employees from multiple levels engaged in the same event at the same time. Puppies are a reason for people to come into work, and they provide a space for organic connections and compliments to occur.

What Are The Benefits Of
A Puppy Love Experience?

Reduce Employee Absenteeism

Who doesn’t want to come to the office when there are puppies? Nothing makes the workplace more attractive and reduces absenteeism than knowing there are adorable furry creatures to frolic with.

Increase Positive Workplace Relationships

For employees who have never met or who don’t know each other well – or even those who do, puppies are an amazing conversation starter and bonding experience.

Increase Focus and Employee Attention

Daily work saturation can get overwhelming. A few minutes of Puppy Love™ organically clears minds, increasing attention and boosts serotonin, leading to a positive attitude readjustment.

Improve Employee Morale & Productivity

When employees feel appreciated, all good things come – including the desire to work and do well for the company.

Bring Smiles Throughout the Day

The photo opps and buzz factor around a Puppy Love™ experience are unparalleled. Smiles will abound as photos are shared and the afterglow continues all through the day!

Reduce Stress & Anxiety Instantly

We all know the feeling of stress at work – looming deadlines, performance reviews, etc. A few minutes playing with puppies makes all that melt away and allows employees to lower their anxiety levels, making it ideal for any corporate event!

Wellness Activities

By hosting wellness activities, you are demonstrating empathy and compassion toward all of your employees which validates that you see them as individuals and people who show up each day and give you their best.

Finally, a Puppy Love experience is not directly proportional to any specific industry or type of work. It is a meaningful way of fostering love and support for all of your employees at once. This event requires no additional staffing, and it’s easy to arrange for a manager working a busy schedule. Our staff takes care of the rest! Not everyone can have an employee solely responsible for employee appreciation, so hire our puppies instead! They’ll happily give puppy kisses and leave your employees with smiles for days.

Employees that feel unhappy and undervalued where they spend the majority of their time are more likely to quit — even without having another job lined up. To build company loyalty and longevity amongst employees, it’s important you focus on activities or gifts that make them feel appreciated. Providing a Puppy Love experience engages them with puppies which in turn reduces cortisol levels and allows for more employee bonding and connecting. By investing in an event that creates positive memories at work, employees are more likely to associate good feelings about their employer and continue to be productive in jobs where they feel they’re appreciated.

Bryan, Gilead

"Sabrina and her entire team were great! We had a corporate event and Sabrina organized puppies and canine companions to be at our conference over a 3-day period. All attendees were in love with this idea and it really made the entire conference extra special. Attendees could not stop talking about the experience and I was so grateful that Sabrina took care of everything and was so organized. All we had to do was show her where the puppy area was, and her team took care of everything. Extremely organized and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants a unique experience at their next event. Thank you, Sabrina and team, for being awesome! "

"I hired Puppy Love for an event in our office in San Francisco. We had been hosting some creative happy hours of sorts and someone had the great idea of a puppy play date! Thank goodness that Puppy Love exists. The team had the BEST time with the 10 puppies that came to our event. One of our engineers even adopted one of the cute little fur balls. It was absolutely a successful event, and I can’t wait until we can host another!"

Google, Business Admin Partner

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a corporate wellness event for Google where they hosted Puppy Love, who provided an amazing puppy experience. I’m an avid animal lover and was thrilled to see an employee engagement that not only focused on employee wellness but also gave back to the community in such a meaningful way. The Puppy Love event was fantastic. We were able to interact with adoptable dogs, and the event organizers provided information on the featured rescue who provided the pups. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together to support such an important cause – not to mention have a blast! I was impressed with how well-organized the event was - and the attention to detail. The pups were well-cared for, and the Puppy Love team was great. This was an excellent example of how a company can help make a positive impact on the community while also promoting employee wellness/happiness. I hope to see more events like this in the future, and I applaud Google for their commitment to giving back and supporting their employees in this way."

Geodis, Events Manager

"I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic work you did at Manifest. Your puppy booth was a real hit and brought a lot of attention to our company. The fact that you worked so hard to make it happen did not go unnoticed, and we appreciate your efforts more than words can say. In particular, we wanted to thank you for bringing in so many great leads for us. Your presence and the excitement it generated were instrumental in helping us connect with potential customers and partners. We believe that these connections will lead to great things for our business, and we owe a lot of that to you."

Warriors, Sponsorships

"We can't express enough gratitude for the amazing event we hosted with Puppy Love and the rescue puppies. It was heartwarming to see our fans and players come together to support such a great cause. The puppies brought so much joy and laughter to everyone, and it was an unforgettable experience to see 25 of them find their forever homes. We feel privileged to have been a part of this event, and we look forward to continuing to support Puppy Love and their mission to help provide people with joy and help the rescue care for animals in need.

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.

Puppy Love™ founder Sabrina Freed combined her two key passions: creating outstanding events and animal advocacy. A pioneer in the field of high-profile conferences Sabrina realized firsthand how employees would benefit from puppies in the workplace, and likewise, how employers would see results in worker efficiency, and wellness. A wonderful give-back, Puppy Love also donates 20% of all proceeds back into the local rescue community.

Puppy Love was started in San Francisco and serves all areas of northern and southern California. We also partner with rescues nationwide to provide Puppy Love experiences across the U.S.

Yes. Each location carries liability insurance of $2M to ensure our attendees and puppies are well covered.

All pups come from our vetted, fully trusted rescue partners who ensure pups are happy and well cared for. 20% of all Puppy Love proceeds are donated back to our rescue partners to help cover their food and medical costs.
