First celebrated in 1999, Take Your Dog To Work Day was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. This annual event asks pet lovers to celebrate the humane-canine bond and promote pet adoption by encouraging their employers to support TYDTWDay by opening their workplace to employees’ four-legged friends on this one special day.
On Friday June 25, 2010, businesses, animal shelters and pet-care professionals from around the world will work together to better the lives of shelter dogs everywhere. Thousands of businesses will GO FURRY to promote pet adoption by opening their doors to employees’ furry, four-legged friends on this day in celebration of the great companions dogs make.
We encourage everyone to participate in this fantastic event! If you cannot take your dog to work, help spread the word by encouraging others to adopt a pet.
We adopted one of our dogs from a shelter. It felt so good to know that we had saved a dog. In the end (after 12 wonderful years), we now know he saved us. He was the missing piece of our family.
