Lang Realty marks Bring Your Dog to Work Day with adoption push

Lang Realty is celebrating National Bring Your Dog to Work Day on Friday, June 26, by spotlighting the dogs that already travel with agents and work from home across South Florida. The Boca Raton firm is also using the moment to reinforce its support for no-kill rescues and encourage pet adoption.

Why it matters: - Lang Realty is tying a workplace observance to a broader animal-welfare message. - The company is using its agent stories to encourage adoption and support for no-kill rescues in Palm Beach and Broward counties. - The effort also reflects how the firm’s community work reaches beyond real estate and into local nonprofits.

What happened: - Lang Realty marked National Bring Your Dog to Work Day on Friday, June 26. - The Boca Raton-based firm highlighted dogs that are already part of agents’ daily routines. - The company also pointed to its Lang Cares outreach program and its ongoing support for animal rescue organizations.

The details: - Joanne Loud’s dog, Miss Roxy, works alongside Loud at home and joins her on office days. - Miss Roxy stays near Loud during calls, contracts, and client emails, and she signals when it is time for a walk or lunch break. - Blake Morris’s dog, Teddy, is a grey-and-white terrier mix with a tennis ball never far from reach. - Morris said Teddy helps clients feel at ease and lowers pressure during showings and ride-alongs. - Maria Kovachev has spent more than two decades advocating for animals that need homes. - Kovachev currently lives with four female German Shepherds adopted from local rescues. - Kovachev also participates in TNR, or trap-neuter-return, programs for feral cats. - Kovachev maintains daily feeding stations for more than 30 cats in her community. - Kovachev said large-breed, high-shedding dogs such as German Shepherds are often overlooked in the adoption system. - Kovachev connects clients who are downsizing or relocating with local animal rescue thrift shops that fund shelter operations. - Scott Agran, president of Lang Realty, said dogs help people stay more present, grounded and connected to what matters. - Agran said the company is proud to celebrate dogs and support rescues that help animals find homes. - Lang Realty said its Lang Cares initiative has long supported shelters, collected supplies and directed resources to no-kill rescues across Palm Beach and Broward counties. - In 2024, Lang Realty and Lang Management associates volunteered at Tri-County Animal Rescue in Boca Raton. - That volunteer effort included installing sod for dog runs, socializing newly arrived rescues and donating supplies collected in a months-long company drive. - Tri-County Animal Rescue is a 100% no-kill facility, and the organization says it has rescued more than 90,000 animals to date. - Lang Realty said people inspired by the stories should consider adoption. - More information is available on Tri-County Animal Rescue and Lang Realty.

Between the lines: - The company is framing pet ownership as part of its culture, not just a one-day promotion. - The agent profiles double as a community-relations message that links personal habits, workplace morale and local rescue support. - The adoption emphasis aligns with the company’s broader nonprofit outreach and gives the campaign a practical call to action.

What's next: - Lang Realty is encouraging adoption and continued support for local rescues. - The company is likely to keep using Lang Cares as the vehicle for volunteerism, donations and animal-welfare advocacy across its South Florida footprint. - Tri-County Animal Rescue remains a local destination for people looking to adopt or support rescue efforts.

The bottom line: - Lang Realty turned a lighthearted workplace holiday into a community pitch for adoption, volunteerism and sustained support for no-kill shelters.
