Replacements, Ltd. Welcomes Four-Legged Friends for Bring Your Pet to Work Day

GREENSBORO, N.C., June 20, 2011 – Woof! Replacements, Ltd. will welcome all four-legged friends and other pets at the company’s annual Bring Your Pet to Work Day scheduled for Friday, June 24, 2011. This event ties into activities planned nationally as part of Pet Sitters International’s Take Your Dog to Work Day.

Replacements receives international media attention for the company’s pet-friendly policies; in fact, Bark magazine named Replacements one of the top dog-friendly companies in the United States. Research shows having animals in the workplace fosters a creative and relaxed working environment, while surveys indicate many Americans believe having the option of bringing their pets to work is an important job perk.

Replacements began its pet-friendly policy 16 years ago. While the company’s employees have the benefit of bringing their pets to work every day, some are not able to bring their animal friends on a regular basis. That’s why organizers are planning activities to honor these beloved family members- whether they’re familiar faces or haven’t worked a day in their lives!

Media interested in covering Replacements’ Bring Your Pet to Work Day should contact Public Relations Manager Lisa Conklin at 336-697-3000, ext. 2552 (336-209-0951 mobile) or lisa.conklin@replacements.com for more information.
