A paw up to find jobs for dog owners

If you don’t have a job but you do have a dog, the website Dog News Daily wants to help.

The company is announcing today the launch of its Help Find A Dog Owner A Job program.

The goal is to help unemployed people find jobs in the pet industry.

The website is donating $1 million worth of advertising space to allow unemployed dog owners to either post a one-page resume on the site for free or review and respond — also for free — to job openings that have been posted there by companies in the pet industry.

To have their resume published, all a dog owner has to do is go to BlogDogNewsDaily.com,, click on the “Post a Resume” tab, and follow the instructions.

Once a job seeker’s resume is approved, it will immediately be made available to prospective employers.

“There are an estimated 4 million unemployed dog owners in the US many of whom visit Dog News Daily,” says Alan Siskind, publisher of the site. “Unfortunately, a growing number of them are finding it increasingly more difficult to care for their pets. If our program finds even one dog owner a job so that they don’t have to give up their pet, we will consider this program to be a huge success.”

Dog News Daily says it will neither accept nor post job listings from breeders, puppy mills, or retail stores that sell dogs.
