Smiling faces and furry paws are the scenery at Memorial Amphitheater today.

Students can destress and relax until 3 p.m. at Freshman Forum’s Puppy Palooza.

Dogs from the Florence Lauderdale Animal Shelter are on campus for students to walk them and pet them, or choose to adopt.

“We just really wanted to give students a positive experience by letting them pet the puppies,” said Freshman Forum Student Issues Committee Chairman Hugo Dante. “I feel like we’ve really made a lot of people’s day.”
