It’s – “National Take Your Dog to Work Day®”

Studies have shown that bringing pets to work can increase productivity. So, on  Friday, June 23rd take your dog to work to celebrate Take Your Dog to Work Day®.

This fun holiday has been celebrated annually since 1999  on the first Friday after Father’s Day in the United States, the unofficial holiday was created by Pet Sitters International as a way to encourage dog adoptions and to celebrate the unconditional love and joy dogs bring to the lives of dog owners. 

The week preceding this unofficial holiday is Take Your Pets to Work Week.

Ways to Celebrate?

• Take your furry friend to work on tJune 23rd.  First, make sure you let your boss and co-workers know that you will be bringing your dog to work and clear it with anyone who may have allergies or other issues.
• Organize a visit to the local dog shelter, or, if possible,  let the local dog shelter come to your workplace with dogs that are in need of a loving home – you never know- somebody may go home with a new furball.
