Gloucester County participating in National Take Your Dog To Work Day and encourages local employers to do the same
Press release issued by Gloucester County
National Take Your Dog To Work Day is scheduled for June 22 in Gloucester County.
Gloucester County Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said, “This is a celebration of the companionship between canine and human, and we hope to bring awareness and to inspire others to adoption from the Gloucester County Animal Shelter.”
Freeholder Dan Christy, Liaison to the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, said, “This year marks the twentieth anniversary of Take Your Dog to Work and we wanted to make it fun and meaningful. We are reaching out to our business community to join us in celebrating this day, and we are asking anyone who wishes to bring their dog to work to make a ten dollar donation to the Gloucester County Animal Shelter.”
Christy said that the Gloucester County Animal Shelter (GCAS) uses donation funds for anything from shelter pets that need emergency medical attention, items on the wish list and donation funds even helped build the county’s Spay and Neuter Clinic.
Employees who bring their dog to work on June 22 will have to ensure that their dog is office ready and that none of their co-workers have allergies or other objections to this special canine time.
All of the animals ready for adoption at GCAS are spayed/neutered and they are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm tested, wormed and microchipped.
If you are interested in learning more about our pets, please contact our Adoption Office by dialing (856) 881–2828 x 1. Our Adoption Office is open Monday and Friday from Noon to 4 p.m. and Tuesday through Thursday from noon until 7 p.m. The office is open every Saturday to view the animals from noon to 4 p.m. (there are no adoptions on weekends).
