Puppy love and coffee served at pop-up dog caf

More than 100people lined up at apop-up, pupcaf to get some puppy love and a cup of joe during their lunch break.

"I don't think we knew the lineup would be that extravagant, but it's amazing to see,"said Charlotte Ellice, with theB.C.SPCA's West Vancouver branch.

A $10donation bought pawlovers 10 minutes of hang-out time with dogs that are up for adoption at theB.C.SPCA.

The dogs, ranging in age from 11 weeks to seven years,came from all over the province.

They were brought in, in shifts to avoid thembeing overwhelmed.

"There is a lot going on, so wanted to make sure they are comfortable in these settings, and if not we take them back to the shelter and bring in the other dogs," said Ellice.

The goal of the event was to get the dogs adopted, but no one got to walk away with a companion just yet.

Those interested in providing permanent homes for the dogs still have to go back to the shelter and follow the regular adoption procedures.

Not everyone who showed up was interested in adoption. Ellice saysthat's OK.

"We have an abundance of animals in our shelters, and the goal is to encourage people toadopt and not go out there and shop for animals," she said.

While today's puppy cafe was a one off, if it is successful Ellice said there may be more puppy play time in Vancouver's future.
