Adoptable Dogs Win Hearts at Puppy Love Event

View All News

You aren’t supposed to fall in love at work, but it’s hard not to feel like you’ve found your soulmate when you’ve met the adorable dogs at our Puppy Love event!

Originally scheduled for Valentine’s Day, the TUH-Main Campus celebration was pushed back a week because of the Eagles’ victory parade. But love was still in the air in the Ontario East Lobby as employees from all over the hospital came to snuggle puppies from the Pennsylvania SPCA!

We were also joined by local vendors who regularly partner with the Office of Patient Experience for our pet events, including Memos Dog Treats and Bully Bows. Attendees could also get crafty by making handmade valentines for their patients (or, if they were less artistically inclined, signing and delivering one of the many pre-made cards we had on hand!).

Check out all the aww-worthy photos from the event, and see if you can spot anyone making a connection that’ll last a lifetime!
