THE NEWEST FURRY MEMBER of the Yankee Family
This month at Yankee Home Improvement, we’re thrilled to announce our latest hire: Betsy Ross, the Great Pyrenees! As the newest member of Ger’s family, she’ll be joining us as the official pooch of the business. She’s a gigantic, fluffy ball of friendliness, so we’re sure her personality will fit right in, though her enormous frame might take up a little more room. Ger and his wife picked up Betsy Ross from an animal rescue in Philadelphia. Her unique name is inspired by the historical designer Betsy Ross, who’s credited with making the first American flag. Our new furry friend is already right at home in the office, relaxing by Ger’s feet while he takes calls and manages the business. All of us at Yankee believe that if you’re going to get a dog this holiday season, it should be from a shelter. Not only are you saving the pooch from being one of the 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats euthanized annually in the United States (according to the Humane Society), you’re more likely to get a happy, healthy pet who is already house trained and socialized. In addition, you’ll help fight the
prevalence of puppy mills, which are factory-style breeding facilities that put profit far above the welfare of their pups.
If you don’t believe us, just take one look at Betsy — you can’t deny those big, watery eyes! If you get a chance, stop in and say hello to our wonderful new companion. She’ll certainly be eager to meet you.
