Welcome to Puppy Love™ Southern California

From the mountains to the beaches, Santa Barbara to San Diego, Santa Monica to San Bernardino, Puppy Love™ Southern California has you covered!

Loving what Sabrina was doing with Puppy Love in the Bay Area, long-time entrepreneur Jennifer Gerichsaw an amazing opportunity with Puppy Love in the Southern California market -- and she was not wrong! As people are emerging from the pandemic, companies are looking for unique ways to show appreciation for their employees as well as concern about their mental health and well-being in the workplace.

Jennifer, Owner, Puppy Love LA

Jennifer is renowned for her innate sales skills rooted in honesty, compassion, humor and overall people smarts.

An entrepreneurial risk-taker, Jennifer started Campos Creative Works, Inc. 27 years ago with her two partners, which went on to become a world-renowned leader in creative, strategic event and digital experiences for clients like Facebook, Dell, Softbank and VW.

With her oldest son graduated from college and on his own and her youngest finishing school, Jennifer was feeling the call to do something more community based; something that would give back. After experiencing Puppy Love events in the Bay Area and seeing the joyful benefits for corporate employees and how they helped puppy rescues, Jen was sold. The perfect blend of her sales/event skills combined with her love of animals and passion for giving back, launching Puppy Love LA was her perfect next chapter.

Meet Doug

When Jennifer's two boys were little, they were inexplicably scared of dogs - even puppies!

Then, at age 13, her youngest happily surprised her by asking for a puppy for his birthday. And just like that, Doug came into their lives! Rescued at 3 months, Jennifer and her family fell immediately in love with this crazy cute creature. After meeting up with one of Doug's siblings, who had his DNA done, they found out that Doug was a mix of Lab, Golden, Husky and German Shorthair Pointer. In other words he's a BIG boy (110 lbs).

He's the happiest, sweetest guy on earth and has no idea how big he is. He's happy to sit in your beach chair or hop on your lap wherever you choose to sit. Jennifer named Puppy Love LA's parent company after him: Douglas Enterprises, LLC, where he remains CEO to this day.

Marquesa, thinkstream

"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."

Google, Business Admin Partner

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."

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™ Southern California 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.
