Why Rescue Dogs?
Day One Dog Lovers
Ever since the 80's, where Joel brought his old dog, Fella, to star in his commercials, we have been firm believers in work being more fun with a furry friend by your side. That ideal remains true to this day, with our entire Richmond office being a dog friendly office!
They Need Our Help
It falls on us as humans and members of our community and society to help those that cannot help themselves and this goes double for animals. When times are tough, animal welfare slips through the cracks. Shelters get overrun, and the cost of medical supplies go up.
In Remembrance
On August 15th, 2024 we lost our beloved Office Dog Bunky from health complications. Bunky, was an older rescue who joined us from For the Love of Poodles (FLOP). While Bunky may have crossed the rainbow bridge, we keep his message alive with continuiing our Rescue Dog support efforts!
Your Choice Makes a Difference
When you choose to adopt over buying a dog, your decision doesn't just impact one animal's life, it impacts many. Your choice gives two lives the chance for another shot at life.
Life Will Never Be Boring
The bond humans share with animals is one that can never be replaced. From the early mornings cuddles to the late night zoomies, their unconditional love makes sure to keep every moment interesting!
Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Dogs Can I enter?
You can enter as many rescue dogs as you own and have adopted!
What If I Entered Last Year?
Don’t feel discouraged and please enter again if you didn’t win last year, the only dog ineligble to win again is Moose, our current Canine Ambassador.
Be sure to send us the best photos possible as that may have been the deciding factor between you and another dog!
What Do I Do If I Don't Have A Rescue Dog?
Currently, only dogs from a rescue are eligible for our contest, so be sure to pass on a link to the contest to any family member who might be eligible!
What If my Rescue Dog is a Foster?
While we love a good foster story and support your actions in making space for another animal in need, your four-legged companion must be officially adopted from their organization in order to be eligible. If your foster already has a pending adoption, be sure to tell their future owner about our contest as the money will be going to the same rescue you foster from and support!
Why Help Rescues?
When times get tough, animal welfare is often the first to go. From animals with increasing medical costs to perfectly healthy ones; furry friends of all shapes and sizes are surrendered or found abandoned. Shelters get overrun and the unfortunate reality of the situation is tough decisions have to be made.
This is why we continue to support the efforts of rescues in our community, the non-profits and those who work together everyday towards ending animal cruelty. If you have spare space or time, please consider getting involved with a rescue near you. Ask them if they need any temporary fosters and you will see first hand just how easy it is to make a difference. Your decision can save a life.
Don’t have time? Consider donating money or supplies. Rescues are always in need of food, blankets, and puppy pads. Check their website or contact them directly if they have any emergency needs
How Many Times Can I vote a Day?
You can vote once a day once voting starts! Voting will begin September 2nd and end September 9th.
