Meet The SD Pup-terns!
Everyone who knows SD knows our love for pets runs deep, especially when it comes to dogs. They’re loyal, enthusiastic, and occasionally a little disruptive… basically, the perfect colleagues. So this International Dog Day (August 26th), we’re shining the spotlight on our very own “Pup-terns,” complete with their official job titles and the HR violations that keep our People & Culture team on their toes.

To keep the love going for our four-legged colleagues, this September we’re swapping keyboards for cupcakes as we host our own RSPCA Cupcake Day event. Every bite will help raise much-needed funds for the RSPCA and the incredible work they do.
Just $38 is enough to provide a warm bed, love and care to an animal in need for one night, and every donation, big or small, makes a difference. If you can, please consider donating to this great cause here.
Because nothing pairs better with a sweet treat than knowing you’ve helped a furry friend.
