Now in its 13th year, Take Your Dog to Work Day was conceived to help promote the human-canine bond, and to increase awareness for adoption.
Today would be a good time to talk with your employer about the feasibility of this, and work out any special arrangements that need to be made. If your dog is a puppy, you might want to bring her crate along too so she’ll have a place to hang out when you are really busy. As you coworkers are bonding with your dog, you can remind them that dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments are available in our local shelters.
By adopting from one of local rescue groups or shelters, people can talk with caregivers and foster parents to match up with right dog for the family. An older dog will most likely be house trained and require less hands on training time than a puppy.
If you employer is hesitant, offer to take some photos of your dog in the workplace to send to local newspapers, and media outlets like SarasotaDog.com! There is a chance that the photo will be published and your company will benefit from the publicity.
