Before you get too excited, it seems that this is just a limited service. Uber is not actually getting into the business of delivering puppies to homes on demand (although they wouldn’t be the first). Instead, it seems like this initiative will be held this coming Wednesday, 3rd of February, in celebration of San Francisco being a Super Bowl Host Committee partner.
According to Uber’s description, “Not into football? That’s cool. Paws whatever you’re doing, because Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl is coming straight to you. We’ve teamed up with Animal Planet, the SF SPCA, Peninsula Humane Society, and Berkeley Humane Society to bring you a pack of puppies—your own personal Puppy Bowl.”
Note that not everyone who requests a puppy will get one, since obviously they will be limited in supply, but if you are selected, a puppy squad and their coaches will stop by your home for a “cuddle huddle”. There are other things that Uber has planned as well, so this puppy delivery service is just one of them. Hop on over to Uber’s blog for the details.
