Puppy Love Returns To Google San Jose

Puppy Love Returns To Google San Jose With 600+ Employees And Three Forever Homes

Puppy Love recently returned to Google’s San Jose campus for a workplace wellness experience filled with puppy cuddles, employee connection, and a few very happy endings. More than 600 employees visited throughout the day, making this one of our most memorable Google events yet. After three years of bringing Puppy Love to the San Jose campus, the excitement was as strong as ever.

A Wellness Experience Employees Look Forward To

Google’s San Jose team has made Puppy Love a recurring part of its wellness programming, and we could feel the anticipation from the moment our team arrived. Employees stopped by throughout the day to take a break from work, visit with coworkers, and spend some much-needed time with rescue puppies.

Workplace wellness does not always need to look like a seminar, a fitness challenge, or another event with a clipboard. Sometimes people need permission to step away from their desks, sit on the floor, and laugh when a puppy decides their shoelace is the most interesting thing in the room.

That is what happened at Google. Employees came through the puppy area in a steady flow, sharing cuddles, taking photos, and introducing colleagues to their favorite pups. The mood was warm from start to finish, with plenty of smiles and a lot of “Can I stay here all afternoon?” comments.

More than 600 Google employees joined us during the event, proving once again that puppy time has a special way of bringing people together.

Three Years Of Puppy Love At Google

This was not our first visit to Google San Jose. Puppy Love has been part of the campus wellness experience for the past three years, and every return feels like reconnecting with old friends.

That kind of repeat partnership means a lot to us. It tells us employees remember the experience, managers see the value, and the company understands that care can show up in small moments. A puppy cuddle may only last a few minutes, but the energy it creates can stick around much longer.

Our team brings everything needed to make the experience feel easy for the host company. We work with local rescue partners, coordinate the puppies, create the puppy space, and manage the event onsite with trained Puppy Coaches. That allows employees to enjoy the experience while the details are handled behind the scenes. The result is a wellness activation that feels joyful, organized, and genuinely personal.

A Big Day For Rescue Puppies

The day was meaningful for Google employees, but the impact reached much further than the campus. Every Puppy Love event includes rescue puppies from local partners, giving them positive socialization and a chance to meet people who may become future adopters.

And this event had three especially happy outcomes. Three puppies found their forever homes! Watching an adoption unfold during a corporate event never gets old. A person may arrive looking for a quick mental break, then leave with a new family member and a whole different kind of joy. It is a beautiful reminder that these events can create real change for puppies who need a home.

The puppies received gentle handling, attention, and time around new people throughout the day. Those interactions can help them build confidence and feel more comfortable around future families. At the same time, employees learn more about the rescue mission and see firsthand how much love these pups have to give.

More Than A Puppy Visit

Puppy Love creates fully managed corporate experiences designed to support employee wellness while helping rescue organizations. The puppies may be the main attraction, but the impact comes from the full experience surrounding them.

At Google San Jose, employees had a chance to slow down in the middle of a busy workday. Coworkers from different teams shared the space and started conversations that may not have happened otherwise. The puppy area gave people an easy way to reconnect with the people around them.

That is the kind of experience we love to create. It is warm without being forced. It is fun without feeling like a distraction. Most importantly, it gives people a real break that can help them return to work with lighter energy.

For companies planning employee wellness events, benefits fairs, conferences, trade shows, or team celebrations, a Puppy Love experience can create an activation people truly look forward to. We handle the pups, the setup, the onsite coaching, and the rescue coordination, while your team gets to enjoy the best part

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

Stephanie Simmons

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.

Maria Steiner

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.

Why Puppy Love™?

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.

Where did the idea for Puppy Love™ come from?

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.

Where is Puppy Love™ headquartered?

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.

Is Puppy Love™ licensed and insured?

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

Where does Puppy Love™ get their puppies?

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.
