Dog Days of Summer welcomes furry friends to Temple University Hospital-Main Campus

View All News

Earlier this month, the Office of Patient Experience at Temple University Hospital–Main Campus held the “ulti-mutt” event for dog lovers — one that had the Ontario Street Lobby “paws-itively” teeming with pups.

Dog Days of Summer has become an annual tradition. Hosted by the Patient Experience team and the Temple Tails program, the event brings adoptable dogs from local rescues to meet Temple Health employees and potentially find their forever homes.

This year, the Office of Patient Experience welcomed dogs from Morris Animal Refuge, Street Tails Animal Rescue, and the Pennsylvania SPCA. Patient Experience also partnered with vendors Bully Bows and Melmos Dog Treats to bring food and fashion options to TUH-Main for furry friends on campus and at home.

Please note: The Temple Tails program is expanding and looking for certified therapy dogs to help improve the Temple Health patient experience. For more information, please contact Kelly Jones at [email protected].
