At BISSELL, we’re so passionate about all things pet that we welcome our best friends to the office. On any given day, you walk through the halls of our headquarters and see a dozen or so dogs working alongside their owners. Hugo and his mom, BISSELL team member Liz, are included in that group.
Liz adopted Hugo after her mom, who worked at a veterinarian clinic, brought the Jack Russell-Terrier mix home back in 2015 when he was just a few months old. Someone found Hugo on the street all by himself. When Liz met Hugo, she knew there was something special about him.
Today, at the age of five, Hugo is a total pro at his job. His favorite work activities include going around the building to visit his fellow pooch friends, like Henry Huggins and Willow, and he’s highly proficient at adorably asking for a treat. Most of our team has treats right at their desks, and if they don’t, chances are there’s a jar in a nearby conference room. Once he heads back to mom’s desk, Hugo spends most of the day showing off his toys to anyone who stops by to visit him. Hugo’s favorite toy is his stuffed duck.
As much as he loves spending the day at his mom’s desk, Hugo also loves spending the day at the BISSELL Pet Spot. This special workplace was built with pet parents in mind. It has three workstations where Associates can plug in for the day and work remotely. It also has three private kennels, a dog washing sink, a meeting area, a fenced in outdoor area, and of course, plenty of treats!
Hugo gained some fame when we featured him and his adoption story on the package of our JetScrub Pet Carpet Cleaner. Stories like Hugo’s are important for us to share because they inspire so much of what we do at BISSELL. Our engineers are pet parents too, and they’re committed to creating innovative products that clean up pet messes faster and easier, so every home that wants to can experience the love of a pet. But it goes a step beyond that. When you buy our pet products, you can help us save pets like Hugo. Every purchase of a BISSELL product helps because BISSELL proudly supports BISSELL Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets. So, when you buy a BISSELL product, you help save lives, too.
