Puppy Love was thrilled to receive an invitation to the A’23 Expo, hosted by AIA, marking our first-ever participation in this prestigious architecture conference. The warm reception we received from the attendees — a crowd of passionate dog lovers — exceeded all expectations.

Amidst the array of booths, visitors were delighted to stumble upon the most exciting puppy experience of the year, nestled in the heart of Moscone Center. The sheer surprise and joy on their faces when they realized they could indulge in some much-needed cuddle time with adorable puppies left no room for a “ruff” day! It was a beautiful reminder that architects, as dedicated as they are to their profession, can also harbor an equal passion for these lovable rescue pups.

Over the course of the two-day A’23 Expo, Puppy Love had the pleasure of connecting several rescue puppies with their forever homes. Truly paw-mazing, isn’t it? We partnered with two esteemed local rescue organizations. On the first day, we collaborated with Fosters and Paws, based in the Sacramento area. The litters included adorable eight-week-old pitty mixes and charming three-month-old extraterrestrial terrier mixes. On the second day, we joined forces with Doggy Protective Services, located on the San Francisco Peninsula. The litters showcased delightful nine-week-old Schitt’s Creek Australian Shepherd mixes and three small yet mighty three-month-old terrier mutts who fearlessly ran the show.

One of the highlights of the event was providing solace and tranquility to presenters before they took the grand stage. AIA, an advocate for equipping architects with the necessary resources to perform their best work, embraced the idea of wellness and serenity through puppy therapy.

Witnessing everyone have a tail-wagging good time was truly gratifying, and we take immense pride in partnering with AIA to create a paw-bulous experience for all attendees. We are already looking forward to returning next year, bringing even more joy and puppy love to this esteemed gathering!
