Puppy Love Steals the Show at Zenith Live 2026

Puppy Love Zenith Live 2026

Zenith Live 2026, Zscaler’s premier learning conference, took over the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on June 8–10, bringing together thousands of executives, security architects, IT leaders, and technology professionals to explore the future of cybersecurity in the AI era. Attendees spent their days deep in conversations about zero trust architecture, agentic AI, and emerging security challenges, but they also found time for something equally powerful: puppy cuddles.

Puppy Love returned for its second year at Zenith Live, once again delivering one of the conference’s most talked-about experiences. Positioned in the heart of the expo hall, the Puppy Love Park quickly became a must-visit destination. Between sessions and meetings, conference-goers stopped by to recharge with tail wags, belly rubs, and a few minutes of pure joy. What started as a “quick stop before my next session” often turned into a daily ritual, with many attendees returning multiple times over the three-day event.

This year’s activation featured eight adorable puppies from four different litters, each bringing their own personality and charm to the show floor. Nala and Simba quickly emerged as fan favorites, winning over attendees with their cuddly nature and willingness to snuggle into any available lap. Nalu, a sweet Shepherd mix, became a natural ambassador for the experience, balancing bursts of puppy playfulness with a calm, grounding presence that seemed perfectly tuned to attendees who needed a moment of real rest.

The puppies were provided by Wagging Tails Rescue, a Las Vegas–based nonprofit dedicated to saving at-risk dogs and helping them find loving forever homes. Through Puppy Love’s partnership model with rescue organizations, every event serves a dual purpose: creating memorable, wellness-focused experiences for attendees while increasing visibility, socialization, and adoption opportunities for deserving rescue animals.

The Puppy Love Park drew attention from across the conference and far beyond the expo floor. Popular cybersecurity influencer Caitlin Sarian (@Cybersecuritygirl) stopped by to interview attendees and spend time with the four-legged stars, capturing the energy of the space and sharing it with her community. Throughout the week, the park became a natural gathering point where conversations started easily, new connections formed, and smiles were impossible to hide.

Research consistently shows that interacting with animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mood, and increase feelings of connection and well-being. Puppy Love was built on the belief that a few minutes with a puppy can shift someone’s entire day, and Zenith Live offered a clear, real-world example of that in action.

In an environment where attendees spend long hours learning, networking, and processing complex technical content, the Puppy Love Park provided a meaningful mental reset. Visitors often shared that their puppy break was “exactly what I needed” to clear their head, calm their nerves, and walk into their next session or meeting more focused and relaxed.

Across all three days, the Puppy Love Park maintained a steady crowd of visitors and became one of the most photographed and talked-about experiences on the show floor. At the conclusion of the event, conference organizers shared feedback that captured the activation’s impact perfectly: when attendees were asked about their favorite part of Zenith Live, the overwhelming response was simply, “The Puppy Booth.”

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

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!

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!

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.

Puppy Love™ founder Sabrina Freed combined her two key passions: creating outstanding events and animal advocacy.

A wonderful give-back, Puppy Love™ also donates 20% of all proceeds back into the local rescue community.
