Uber, in an apparent attempt to reverse the tide on a string of bad press, is delivering puppies – PUPPIES! – to offices around Philly today so you and your coworkers can get 15 minutes of playtime with, again, A PUPPY. Brilliant.

Here’s how Uber explains it:

HOW TO GET YOUR PAWS ON A PUPPY

  1. Open up your Uber app on Thursday, August 27 between 11am and 3pm in Philadelphia.
  2. Request the “PUPPIES” option in your app (please note: Puppies can only be delivered to offices).
  3. It’s $20 for 15 minutes of puptastic playtime and all proceeds are donated to the PSPCA.
  4. Once the puppies arrive, you and your colleagues will get to enjoy 15 minutes of pawsitively awesome playtime! PRO TIP: Make sure to have an enclosed space ready to maximize the time you have with the puppies.
  5. Found your new family member? All puppies are eligible for adoption! PSPCA reps will be on-site at each playdate and can help get the adoption process started.

*When requesting puppies to your office, please make sure your boss or building is pro-puppy and that no one in the area is allergic. Also, having a dedicated room for puppy playtime is preferred. 

Here’s the map– call it, Puppy Zone, an area outline that is instantly more friendly and #adorbs than the city’s “”””Francis Festival Grounds“”””:

Want your puppy? Sure ya do! Sign up for Uber and use code CROSSINGBROAD (or just click this link right here) and not only will you get a puppy, you’ll also get $20 off your first ride.

Side note: If your office isn’t pro-puppy and it’s not an operating room or bakery, you should quit your job.


Full disclosure: Uber didn’t ask us to post this. I just like puppies… and referral kickbacks.
