Pet’s Name / Nickname: Malley (short for O’Malley, because she was born on St. Patrick’s Day).

Owner: Laura Sutherly, Agtivation

Title: “Dog Alarm” in Training

Breed: Australian Shepherd

Years on the Job: One month, and still in probationary puppy status.

Favorite Snack: Anything she can find, steal, or convince someone to share or dropped.

Special Skills: Distracting all of us from our work with those puppy eyes.

Favorite Hangout Spot: Right next to Taffy, her 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and newly promoted mentor, who is patiently teaching her how to keep the office calm.

Best Office Habit: Leading mandatory exercise drills while the team chases her around the office to retrieve her latest stolen chew toy.

Most Likely To: Interrupt a Zoom meeting, demand attention during a phone call, or act like she has very important office business.

About Malley

After years of handling office mascot duties on her own, Taffy apparently decided she deserved an intern to train. Enter Malley, the newest member of the Agtivation crew.

(New Office Mascot)

Malley comes from the same Australian Shepherd family line as Taffy through Jamie, one of Agtivation’s designers. Nearly eight years after Taffy joined the office, Malley arrived from the newest litter, making the two distant relatives and now office sidekicks.

While Taffy specializes in keeping the office calm, Malley’s specialties include stealing chew toys, interrupting meetings, disappearing the moment it’s time to leave, and wearing the office team out long before anyone has a chance to wear her out. She also never runs short on puppy kisses.
