Uber is Delivering Puppies Today!
WTOP - Want to play with a puppy without the long-term obligation? The Washington Animal Rescue League is teaming up with Uber and Animal Planet to deliver dogs to your doorstep for a good cause Wednesday. For $30, D.C.-area residents can order a dog for 15-minute increments between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday. If it seems steep for some puppy one-on-one playtime, it’s going to a good cause: every dollar is donated directly to the Washington Animal Rescue League, a non-profit animal shelter located in Northwest D.C. An added bonus: each dog is available for adoption. “This promotion really raises adoption awareness for these wonderful animals ready to find their forever homes,” WARL CEO Bob Ramin said in a news release. To get in on the puppy delivery, open the Uber app between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and request the “PUPPIES” option in the app. Also, all participants are encouraged to share their pictures of the experience using #UberPuppyBowl.
Stop everything! Uber is delivering puppies to your front door today. I need to delete my Uber app immediately before it looks like 101 Dalmatians in my apartment. What a deal. Only $30 to play with a puppy for 15 minutes, and then you get to adopt it when you’re done. Is there a max. number I can adopt per day? And that $30 goes towards the Washington Animal Rescue League, so everyone wins. So much better than the time they did the Uber ice cream truck and I paid 20 dollars for them to not have any Choco Tacos. And the best thing about the Uber puppy delivery service is if you don’t get the kind of puppy you want, you can just call it over and over and over again. For real though, so many puppies are getting adopted today I can’t stand it. Puppies! Puppies!
