Martha Church:
“People play with them, they fall in love with them so they adopt them and give them forever homes.”
Rivera:
BUT AS SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES TOOK CHARGE AND STATES BEGAN TO LOCKDOWN, PUPPY PALOOZA’S BUSINESS DECLINED.
Martha Church:
“Our business came to a screeching halt. We adopted out all our puppies. Thank goodness they all found forever homes and were at a stand still. Now we have our little misfits that are now our forever dogs. And we’ll wait and see what happens. ”
Rivera:
PARIS AND MARTHA NOW CARE FOR FIVE DOGS, WHO CANNOT BE ADOPTED, IN THEIR HOME IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WHERE PUPPY PALOOZA IS LOCATED. THE COUNTY HAS YET TO LIFT RESTRICTIONS FOR GATHERS LEAVING THE CHURCH’S WITHOUT BUSINESS.
Paris Church:
We hope that once people start having more social events and like gathering again. Then, we’ll be able to start. That’s the goal.

UNTIL THEN, THE CHURCH’S WILL BE BUSY CARING FOR FOUR NEW ARRIVALS AND PLANNING THEIR RETURN TO BUSINESS. SKYLER RIVERA, N-C-C NEWS.
PHILLIPS RANCH, Calif. (NCC News) – Puppy Palooza, a Los Angeles-based mobile petting zoo and adoption company, received an unexpected surprise early this week. One of the company’s permanent dogs birthed four precious puppies.
The petting zoo company– which hosts petting zoo parties for celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Reese Witherspoon and Kim Kardashian – has struggled to find business during COVID-19 due to strict social distancing guidelines.
Paris and Martha Church care for each dog, puppy, rabbit and guinea pig in their Southern California home. Puppy Palooza is a hobby for both Paris and Martha. Paris is a full-time college student and Martha is a real estate agent.
While bringing smiles to clients’ faces through petting zoo parties brings in revenue for the Puppy Palooza, the Churches’ main goal is to give the animals forever homes.
Each animal that attends parties is available for adoption. The Churches care for five dogs of their own who were former party animals who developed health problems and are now unable for adoption.
