Looking for a truly heartwarming way to elevate your celebration? The Puppy Cuddles Experience by Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs brings an unforgettable dose of joy, comfort, and connection to your event. Perfect for wedding weekends, bridal showers, group getaways, or wellness-focused gatherings, this experience invites your group to unwind, laugh, and make a meaningful impact — all while surrounded by adorable, adoptable rescue puppies.

Hosted by Kitten Paws and Downward Dogs, an Austin-based nonprofit known for its uplifting animal-assisted experiences, Puppy Cuddles blends relaxation with purpose. Over the course of two hours, your group will enjoy supervised cuddle time with well-socialized rescue puppies in a calm, thoughtfully arranged environment designed for both human comfort and animal wellbeing.

• Up to two hours of supervised puppy interaction and playtime

• Professional animal handlers ensuring safety, comfort, and care for both guests and puppies

• Full setup, coordination, and cleanup managed by the team

• Built-in donations supporting local rescue organizations with every booking
