National Puppy Day was established to raise awareness of the major issues facing the United States’ canine population, namely puppy mills and overpopulation. With over 4 million dogs surrendered to shelters annually, the organizers strive to encourage people to choose adoption or rescue when adding a new furry member to their family. At Ah Sam Floral Co., we love our pups, no matter how old they are. We thought we would use this occasion to celebrate our dogs, as well as some of the causes we support that involve these lovable animals who bring so much joy to our homes and communities. Get ready to meet Stella, Tequila, and Fox!

There is no shortage of dog lovers at Ah Sam Floral Co., whether they take every opportunity to pet a new furry friend, volunteer at local pet organizations, or are loving pet-parents themselves. First, we’d like to introduce you to Stella, who belongs to Stacey. Look at that sweet face!

While many people think that rescue animals may have been surrendered due to behavior problems, quite the opposite is true. Over 90% of dogs in shelters are there through no fault of their own, and they are some of the most loving, grateful, and kind-spirited animals you will ever meet. Such is the case with Fox, on the left, who belongs to employee Molly, and Tequila, who makes a home with Ellie. Both are sweet and adorable rescue dogs.

Ah Sam Floral Co. is also proud to support local charity organizations right here in our own backyard. Our Lend a Hand program was designed to continuously give something back to our community by donating $2.00 from each of our online orders to a participating local effort. One of our participating organizations is the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA.

We also work with Canine Companion, a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs. Ah Sam Floral Co. volunteers by warehousing and distributing newborn puppy kits.
There is no doubt we have a special place in our hearts for our puppies. That is why we provide floral arrangements and products designed to celebrate them and to thank those who work tirelessly to rescue, foster, train, and home these amazing dogs.

For the pet parents in your life, nothing is better than receiving a fresh, vibrant houseplant or a beautiful, colorful flower arrangement that is non-toxic to dogs and cats. Some of our favorites include money trees, succulents, bromeliads, orchids, and roses. Check out our pet-friendly plant collection or shop some of our large variety of floral arrangements to honor those who make space in their lives, homes, and hearts for these sweet animals.

If you are an animal lover, Ah Sam Floral Co. is the San Mateo florist for you! We not only hold our own pets close to our hearts, but we also work alongside the community to bring a better quality of life to both the dogs and the people who need and love them.
