Happiness - Nothing Beats Puppies!

And we are happy to include a Puppy Lounge in your event. Here is what you need to know.


Los Angeles based uber-restaurateur and television personality Lisa Vanderpump just opened her latest business hit, The Dog Cafe on ritzy 3rd Street in West Hollywood, a place to take your dog - or just meet cuddly customers when you feel the need for great cuteness.

Dogs are always in the top 50 hashtags on Twitter and Instagram and the list of medical and psychological benefits of canine company to humans is extensive.

We always break out in smiles when we encounter a Puppy Lounge at a conference or an event.
Puppies are the best remedy for stress and anxiety, a great social tool and a guaranteed HAPPINESS FACTOR.

We would be happy to bring puppies to events.

Longterm studies of the benefits of canine visits to hospital patients, senior citizens and children support the claims of every dog lover: dogs enhance well-being, generate smiles, and enhance human engagement.
No wonder large corporations like Comcast-NBCUniversal include puppy longes at the most important conferences, like SXSW.

Director of Business Development Alisa Walsh had the chance to snuggle a puppy at a recent SITE SoCal golf event.

Alisa: 
"The best kind of golf tournaments involve puppies at every hole. Prove me wrong.
So glad we got to support one of our SITE Southern California charities, Compassionate Animal Rescue for Medical Aid (CARMA) while I took a quick break from the Masters. 😎
SITE SoCal has supported CARMA at other events by including the Orange County based non-profit as beneficiaries of fundraising activities at our events. We always meet our fundraising goal and anytime puppies are on site, the attendee engagement increases considerably."
Golfing with Alisa are Jackie Ash, Evan Lloyd Christman and Tony Buhr.

There are a number of things to consider before you bring puppies to your event.

1) Access: The event location has to be pet-friendly and allow dogs on the premises.

2) Allergies and Dog Phobia: a Puppy Lounge should be located in a space that allows people who do not wish to interact to participate without hindrance in the overall event.

3) The Right Partner: SITE SoCal has a longterm relationship with Orange County, CA, based CARMA. The Sundance Film Festival partners with Nuzzles & Co to give their staffers a much needed boost during the festival run. Comcast NBCUniversal built a relationship with Michelson Found Animals Foundation - give yourself enough time to find a reputable partner for your puppy lounge.
The animal organization will handle all the canine related logistics and should have access to trained animal interaction staffers.
A reputable non-profit will also safeguard the sponsors from fundraising embarrassments.

4) The Right Cause: not every event lends itself to on-the-spot adoptions. However, it is always possible to include a cause-related fundraising angle and an awareness campaign.

We have lots of ideas that will melt your guests' heart and create lasting memories!
And most of all: make them happy!
