Puppy Therapy Tour: questions people ask us

Short answers about our free puppy events around Fresno, Clovis and Madera, getting a time, and our puppies.

Puppy therapy events

What is the Puppy Therapy Tour?

We bring our puppies out, and you sit with them for a few minutes. That is the whole thing. Dates and places are on our events page.

Does the Puppy Therapy Tour cost anything?

No. It is free. No ticket, no charge, nothing to buy.

Do I need to bring anything?

No. There is no ticket and nothing to buy. We have hand sanitizer there, and everyone cleans their hands before puppy time.

How long do I get with the puppies?

Fifteen minutes at our current events. The event page shows each time and how many spots are still open.

How do you look after the puppies?

Each puppy works 15 minutes, then rests 20. When a puppy is done, it is done. We never make them work.

Getting a time

How do I get a time?

Open the event page, pick a time, and enter your name and mobile number. We text you a confirmation and a reminder the day before.

Do I need to sign anything?

Yes, a short waiver. Sign it online when you book, or on your phone when you get there. Everyone 16 and older signs their own.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, all ages. Kids under 16 need a grown-up with them, one adult for every three kids. Kids under 16 do not sign the waiver.

What if all the times are full?

Join the list at the bottom of the event page. We send the next date to that list first.

What if I am running late, or cannot come?

Text (619) 974-0900 and we will give your spot to someone on the waitlist. Please come 5 minutes early. We start on time.

Can I bring my own dog?

No other dogs, sorry.

The puppies

What kind of puppies are they?

Right now we have Pomeranians. We have also raised Mini American Shepherds. They grow up in a house with people, not in a kennel. Who comes to an event depends on the day, and they all nap a lot.

Can I buy a puppy at an event?

No. Puppies are never for sale at our events. If you fall for one, talk to our team, or book a free FaceTime with any puppy on our puppies page. Buying happens later, with a written contract and hand delivery.
