If you’re among the 65% of U.S. households that include a pet, you likely know the joy of unconditional love. On the flipside, you know how miserable it can be to go to work each day and leave your best buddy behind. Imagine how much more awesome your job would be if some of your “co-workers” had whiskers and wet noses.
A growing number of employers feel exactly the same way. A 2015 Society for Human Resource Management survey found that 8% of American workplaces allow employees to bring pets to work, up from 5% in 2013. The benefits go beyond having a much more adorable staff: Studies have found that allowing pets in the workplace can reduce stress and lead to happier work environments.
To help you and you four-legged confidante find a job the two of you can get excited about, Monster rounded up 10 companies that will welcome you with open paws.
