The Dog Days of Stride


We love our dogs and have the fortunate ability to bring them to work.  Not all at once!  We have a coordinated schedule.

At times we've had dogs as big as Great Danes and as little as Yorkshire Terriers. Our developmentally disabled colleagues don't typically have their own canine pets and love the critters we bring to work.  Marie, our official dog walker, can be certain to get multiple walks in throughout the work day along with her other duties.  In many ways this has brought out the enthusiasm of our individual employees and given them a way of showing love, not only for the animals, but for each other.  For someone with a developmental disability, who has always been told what they cannot do...
being at Stride shows them what they can do!
