What you'll do:

Looking for a unique way to add joy and heart to your celebration? The Puppy Cuddles Experience by Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs brings the ultimate feel-good moment to your event. Perfect for wedding weekends, bridal showers, or group getaways, this experience allows your party to relax, laugh, and make a difference — all while surrounded by adorable, adoptable rescue puppies.

Hosted by Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs, an Austin-based nonprofit known for creating unforgettable animal-assisted experiences, Puppy Cuddles combines relaxation, philanthropy, and pure happiness. Your group will enjoy two hours of supervised cuddle time with socialized rescue puppies. Every event is managed by trained handlers who ensure a safe and stress-free environment for both guests and pups.

Each experience directly supports local animal rescues by helping puppies gain confidence and visibility for adoption. It’s more than an activity — it’s a chance to do good while having fun.

Why we love it for your party:

Curated cuddle lounge setup (indoor or outdoor)
Up to two hours of puppy interaction and playtime
Professional handlers for puppy care and guest safety
All logistics, cleanup, and coordination handled by our team
Donations to local rescue partners are included with every booking
