Puppy Cuddling Sessions 2024

To celebrate International Dog Day (26 August - we're celebrating early), we’re offering 15 minute puppy cuddling sessions in partnership with Auckland Puppy Rescue.

Studies show that interacting with animals can lower cortisol levels and reduce blood pressure. Plus, there's no denying the pure joy of having a puppy on your lap! After your cuddle session, you'll return to your desk feeling refreshed, re-focused, re-energized, and maybe a little sad to say goodbye to your new furry friend.

FAQS

How many people will I be sharing a puppy cuddling session with?

Each session will host up to 25 people and lasts up to 15 minutes. This would make a great team event!

What if I want more than 15 minutes with the puppies?

No worries! You are welcome to book multiple sessions in a row.

What if I want to adopt one of the puppies I meet?

You are welcome to adopt a puppy – but you just won’t be able to take her or him home on the day. An adoption form will need to be completed online and then the Auckland Puppy Rescue Team will be in touch for property inspections etc.

Can I donate more than $10 to Auckland Puppy Rescue?

Yes! When you book a ticket, you will see an option to add on an extra donation if you wish. Your money will go towards paying for puppy vaccinations and food. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.

What if I’m interesting in fostering?

There will be fosters present during the event who can provide information about the pups and what it’s like being a foster parent.
