Draftfcb is the pro-bono advertising partner for The Shelter Project, the Humane Society’s pet adoption program, and they’re really into it. How into it, you ask? Well, the company actually has adopted three “office-dogs” that come to work at the Chicago office every day, providing inspiration, stress relief, and plenty of excuses for employees to leave the office during the day. “Welp, better take the dogs out- can’t have those clients of ours walking into an office with shit on the floor!”
Since I’m allergic to everything, I had to inquire on behalf of my hyper-sensitive peers as to whether allergy-shots were a pre-requisite to employment at the agency, or if there were any dog-tolerance-based discriminatory hiring practices going on at the office. My Draftfcb hosts assured me, however, that those who don’t deal well with dander, as well as puppy-phobes and general ‘fraidy-cats are seated on floors away from the dogs.
The puggle pictured above actually “works” at DFCB, and in case you were wondering, his name is Payton.
