Dublin Dog Foundation
The Dublin
Dog Foundation, the non-profit branch of
Dublin Dog Co., Inc., which helps foster
the therapeutic and service roles of
dogs in the development, support, and
inspiration they provide to their human
companions, successfully completed the
2009 Let Freedom Bark Ride fundraising
initiative and exceeded the fundraising
goal of $20,000.
The Dublin Dog Foundation teamed up with
Canine Assistants to select
Winston-Salem, N.C., resident Terry
Montgomery, who has Cerebral Palsy, to
receive the sponsored service dog,
Butterball. The funds raised covered all
the costs associated with the training,
graduation, food and medical bills for
Butterball's lifetime. Fundraising
efforts surrounding the campaign
included the 2009 Let Freedom Bark
charity ride, the national raffle for
the official Dublin Dog Foundation Dream
Bike and Sidecar, and over two-dozen
fundraising events. Winston Salem, NC
resident, Joy Adams, was hand selected
by fellow Winston-Salem resident Terry,
to win the official Bike and Sidecar
with a value of over $3,000.

No bulls in this china shop, only
employees' and customers' pets!
Replacements, Ltd.--based in Greensboro,
NC and the world's largest supplier of
china, silver, crystal and collectibles
-- knows how to keep their employees and
customers happy!
What is REPLACEMENTS?
In the 1970s, Bob Page, founder and
owner of Replacements, Ltd., began
collecting china and crystal on weekends
while working as an auditor for the
state of North Carolina. Bob was an
auditor for the state of North Carolina
at the time he began his unique hobby.
As friends learned of his interest in
china and crystal, they asked him to be
on the lookout for particular dinnerware
patterns they needed as well as pieces
they had lost or broken. Bob quickly
found himself devoting more and more
time to his hobby, often staying up
until the early morning hours to fill
orders. Bob stored the china and crystal
in his attic, while his bedroom served
as his office. From Bob’s weekend hobby
he grew Replacements into what is
today’s 415,800 square foot facility.
The company has become the world's
largest supplier of old and new china,
crystal, silver, and collectibles. Their
facility, which equals the size of seven
football fields, houses an astounding
inventory of 13 million pieces in more
than 300,000 patterns--some more than
100 years old!
But the best part? Replacements’ 540+
associates are allowed to bring their
pets to work every day. The company
encourages customers to bring their
animal friends as well!
According to CEO Bob Page, the practice
started when:
“One year for my birthday, one of the
employees here knew that I loved his
dog, Ernie, that he had rescued and he
gave me that dog for my birthday. I
thought, I just cannot leave Ernie at
home, I’ve got to bring him with me to
work. I realized how much it meant to me
to be able to bring my dog to work and I
thought, well, I’m sure that others here
would feel the same way about bringing
their pets to work so we started
allowing our employees to bring their
pets to work and I do think it means a
great deal to so many of our employees.
I’ve heard more than one employee tell
me the best fringe benefit we have at
Replacements is being able to bring
their pet to work.”
With all of those pets, you may ask: do
the pets ever have accidents?
Bob says: “Occasionally we do have an
accident and we do ask that the pet
owners clean that up, but I don’t
remember a pet ever breaking anything
here at Replacements. We’ve been very
fortunate in that we’ve had a number of
people and customers to break things out
in our showroom, but the pets have never
broken anything.”
Replacements has anywhere from 20-30
dogs in the building on any given day.
Employees and customers mostly bring in
dogs, but they do get the occasional
cat, rabbit, ferret, bird and other
animal friends. Their customers have
brought in a duck and a pot bellied pig
into their showroom/museum!
Bob started this policy at least 13
years ago. Although Ernie died many
years ago, Bob adopted his Miniature
Dachshunds Toby Lee and Trudy Mae, who
come to work every day along with some
of their offspring.
Their pets really like being part of
their owners workday, and employees
really like having them as it makes
every day that much better!
So if you are ever in the area, feel
free to stop by, and bring your well
behaved pet to take the grand tour, but
please no bulls! |
