HYPERION BANK CELEBRATES 13TH ANNUAL
PET SITTERS INTERNATIONALโS TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY
Philadelphia, PAโฆFirst celebrated in 1999, Pet Sitters Internationalโs Take Your Dog To Work Dayยฎ
was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from
humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. This annual event asks pet lovers to
celebrate the humane-canine bond and promote pet adoption by encouraging their employers to
support TYDTWDay by opening their workplace to employeesโ four-legged friends on this one special
day.
This is the fourth year the Bank has held the event and Bake Sale Fundraiser. โOur employees bake
all the goodies and we offer them for a donation to benefit the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society
(PAWS). This year we raised over $150.00 for PAWSโ, stated Joe Matisoff, Bank President and
proud father of the Bankโs official first dog, Buddy Matisoff.
PAWS is always on hand with dogs for adoption. For more information on how you can adopt a pet
or make a contribution please visit the PAWS website at http://www.phillypaws.org/
