It’s #InternationalDogDay! Last year on this day, our social media challenge raised more than $1000 to sponsor a play yard at KC Pet Project. This year, one of those dogs now lives with an employee-owner, and we’ve given almost $10,000 to animal rescue organizations so far. Do you have a dog (or pet) from a shelter? Share a picture in the comments! #DogDays #AnimalRescue #KCPetProject
