Last year, in Tempe, Arizona, more than 90 Amazon employees, volunteers, and retailers came out to support the Ohana Animal Rescue. Our devotion to our four-legged friends doesn’t stop at making sure they're enjoying their time on campus. Barktoberfest, for example, is a big hit, offering dog-friendly treats, activities, and even a doggie Halloween costume contest. Local dogs and their owners also enjoy organized events throughout the year. This year, we also opened a community off-leash dog park in the Denny Triangle neighborhood for employees and dogs in the community to enjoy – it features rocks and other structures for dogs to play on. The neighborhood has no shortage of poop bag stations, designated dog relief areas, and dog-friendly water fountains.
On the 17 th floor of one of our buildings (Doppler), there’s a doggie deck-complete with a fake fire hydrant-where dogs can run around. Reception desks in every office building are a must-stop spot to snag dog treats. In addition to hanging with their beloved pet parents and getting fussed over by other Amazonians, there are plenty of fun things for dogs to do on campus. If you land on one of our error 404 pages, you’ll be introduced to some of the dogs that come to work with their owners regularly. Some of the popular pooches at the company include Lucy the Labrador, Sherriff a Golden-Aussie mix, and a Papillion named Martini.
On a typical day, thousands of dogs follow in Rufus’ paw steps. Rufus’ memory is still honored at Amazon: There are photos of him around campus, and there’s even a building in South Lake Union that was named after the beloved corgi. Employees would use Rufus’ paw to click the computer mouse to launch some of the earliest pages of. “Our dogs add to the fun, dynamic energy of our workplace.” In the early days of, a husband and wife team brought their Welsh corgi, Rufus, to work with them, and he became a surprisingly productive part of the team. “Amazon has been dog-friendly since Day 1,” notes Hirschfield. “Our employees love bringing their dogs to work and love meeting their co-workers’ dogs.” It all started with Rufus It’s truly ingrained in our company culture,” explains Lara Hirschfield, our “Woof Pack” Manager. They make employees smile, and we’re proud this is such a uniquely Amazonian tradition. “Having dogs in our workplace is an amazing treat.
