It’s that time of year again, where you could take your wonderful pet to work and show off the love of your life! I received my notice from Pet Sitter’s International where they have selected June 20th for the official date to take your dog to work. Your participation in this event could make a huge difference in saving a dog’s life that is in desperate need of a forever home. The preventing sponsor of this event is Comfort Zone, you can visit them at www.petcomfortzone.com for more information.
Here are three things you should know about Take Your Dog To Work Day:

1. It’s a celebration of dogs and their undivided companionship.
2. It’s an encouragment of pet adoptions in a positive and proactive way.
3. It can also be a way to promote your business to an audience of passionate pet owners.

Here are some of the results from everyone’s participation in 2007!
*Thousands of pet owners, shelters, dog trainers, and pet sitters participated across the United States, and here in North Carolina (this even included folks from the Charlotte area, Hickory, Winston Salem, and Greensboro to name a few).
*The event was covered by more than 200 publications and reached an audience greater than 10 million readers across the U.S.
*This event was heard on the radio or seen on television by more than 16 million people.
*Was viewed on the Internet by more than 125,000 people in the months of May and June alone!

So talk with your boss or HR manager and then find a local shelter, rescue organization or humane society and put together a strategy to get as many people as possible to join the Fun on June 20th! For more detailed information check out www.petsit.com
