Puppy Love Brings Joy To Dreamforce 2026
Puppy Love Brings Joy To The Final Day Of Dreamforce 2026
As Dreamforce 2026 came to a close on Thursday, September 17, the Puppy Love Experience became a standout attraction in Dreampark, Salesforce’s outdoor Dreamforce destination on Howard Street between Third and Fourth Streets. Amid a final day filled with keynotes, technology conversations, and AI-powered ideas, attendees found a welcome reason to slow down: adoptable rescue puppies.
Throughout the day, conference guests flocked to Puppy Love for a few minutes of cuddles, playtime, and connection. The experience brought a cheerful mix of adoptable pups, including Chihuahua mixes, Mini Golden Retrievers, Maltese, Poodles, and plenty of other adorable combinations.
A Much Needed Conference Break
Dreamforce is known for big conversations about technology, innovation, and what comes next. In the Puppy Love space, those conversations took a softer turn. Attendees swapped stories about their dogs at home, met fellow conference guests through shared puppy admiration, and discovered that networking feels much more natural with a sleepy pup curled up nearby.
For many people, the Puppy Love Experience offered a break from packed schedules and full conference halls. Colleagues stepped away from screens and presentations to sit on the ground, relax, and enjoy a few guilt-free minutes of puppy time. Strangers who may have passed each other all week stopped to laugh over puppy zoomies, floppy ears, and the occasional attempt to steal a shoelace.
The energy was warm, easy, and full of the kind of joy that does not need an agenda. Attendees shared photos, videos, and happy reactions from the event across social media, helping bring the Puppy Love magic beyond Howard Street. See one attendee’s Dreamforce Puppy Love moment on LinkedIn, along with a playful Instagram Reel from the experience and another Dreamforce puppy highlight on Instagram.
More Than A Puppy Cuddle
The puppies were not only there to brighten people’s days. Every gentle cuddle, calm interaction, and new face helped provide valuable socialization for these rescue pups as they prepare for future homes. The attention they received from hundreds of local and visiting Dreamforce attendees gave them positive exposure to people in a safe, supervised environment.
Puppy Love is proud to work with rescue partners to create experiences that support both people and animals. For conference guests, the activation provided a meaningful wellness break in the middle of an exciting and demanding week. For the puppies, it created opportunities to build confidence, receive affection, and be seen by potential adopters.
Connection Beyond Technology
Dreamforce may have been filled with conversations about artificial intelligence and the future of work, but Puppy Love offered a gentle reminder that some connections cannot be automated. A puppy leaning into a hand, a shared laugh between strangers, or a quiet moment away from the crowd can make a busy event feel more personal.
Bring The Joy To Your Team
The final day was a fitting close to an unforgettable week on Howard Street. Dreampark was filled with wagging tails, happy faces, and plenty of puppy-powered joy. Puppy Love was honored to bring a little heart to Dreamforce 2026 and give attendees a moment they will remember long after the final keynote.

What Our Customers Say
Roselina Rimando
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!
Erica Pham
There are not enough words to describe how great Jennifer and the Puppy Love™ team are! I have been wanting to plan a company event for awhile now and it was important to me that we did not support using puppies/dogs from mills or breeders. Puppy Love™ not only partners with rescues, but also will donate a portion of the cost to the rescue as well so right off the bat, I was already impressed. Jennifer is very communicative throughout the process and made it easy for us to host the event. We essentially just provided the space and her team handled the rest! Everyone on the team were incredibly kind and clearly cared about the dogs and puppies. The event was nothing short of amazing and I have no doubt that we will be inviting them back for another event in the future! It’s well worth it, I can’t recommend Puppy Love™ enough!
Emily Jasinsky

We brought Puppy Love™ in for our site Happy Hour and it was a HUGE HIT! We had a constant line of employees waiting to get some love from the puppies. Folks are already asking for another event. Puppy Love™ really puts the Happy in Happy Hour!

Michelle Cadwell
Jennifer is a such a Gem to work with! We hired her company for a Employee Summer Picnic event in August of 2023. She not only provided a ton of wonderful information on how activations work, but provided a whole experience. We remained in contact up to our event. The day of the event, was not only seem less, but her staff was beyond amazing. Puppies did get held up in traffic but we made the most of it, and they ensured puppies were here for the full time. I will be in contact again for our next event in the future.

PUPPIES! Who does not love spending time with these cuties. The rescue pups are so adorable and playful, or even comforting and sweet sleeping in your arms. Great way to add to a conference or corporate event, promoting socialization for the dogs and alleviating stress and anxiety for attendees. Tensions melt away and blood pressure drops, puppy love is magical. Great organization to help with events. They have exceptional staff who really care about promoting dog rescues and adoptions. Thank you Sabrina and your team!
Eryn McCoy
I couldn’t say better things about Puppy Love™! The staff was so incredibly nice, welcoming, and caring with the dogs! It was so fun to cuddle and play with pups! Wish Puppy Love™ was at every conference I went to!
Dean Steiner
If you are hosting a conference or corporate event, looking for something for employee appreciation, team building, or recognition, Puppy Love™ is a great option. In cooperation with local rescue organizations, Puppy Love™ will bring and supervise puppies at your event allowing your team all the cuddles and doggo kisses they can handle! The staff are great and love the positive engagement with the pups and the public. This is so beneficial for all involved, positive vibes for the people, and socialization for the pups. They are amazing!

Puppy Love™ is such a fantastic company to work with! At a recent event, our guests truly loved spending time with the precious puppies! Puppy Love™ services helped make this event magical and we cannot thank them enough. They were all such a joy to work with and all of their energy + effort was essential in providing an amazing experience and this event could not have been possible without them! thank you Puppy Love™!
Lauren Mushkin
Puppy Love™ provides the BEST puppy experience. They focus on the healthy, safety and well-being of the pups and people. I would highly encourage anyone looking to have a fun, unique, and experience to contact them!
Alta Abel
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!
Courtney Hitrys
Working with Jennifer has been a pleasure! Their set up and take down is smooth, the puppies are always adorable and Puppy Love™ is reliable and make the process of working with puppies at events smooth and easy.
Ashley Cazares
We worked with this group for our first SHRM conference. They went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly. Puppies were well taken care of and had many puppy naps. Love their mission behind their work. Would 10/10 recommend for any event.

Kayla Rivera
We loved having PuppyLove come to our office! I had a simple and easy time working with Sabrina to plan this event. The day of support from PuppyLove were helpful and organized! We will definitely have this event in our office again!
Christine Kroeckel
Puppies of Pulse!! Thank you SF for all the Puppy Love™. So many smiling faces and happy pups!
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.
