Working like a dog is nothing new to employees at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. And on Friday, June 20, they worked with their dogs – around 20 of them in three different branch offices - in observance of Take Your Dog to Work Day 2008. Nearly $500 in donations to the Virginia Beach SPCA was raised. VBSPCA’s Compassion Classroom speaker Sharon Haring, along with adoptable all-American mix Allistar, presented an adoption awareness program to Atlantic Bay employees (and pooches).
