It's a dog's life

Key West, FL – A fast growing organization, Lazy Dog Island Outfitters & Outdoor Adventure Company, is sponsoring a contest for a $75,000 per year job and free upscale housing in what Floridians call “Paradise.” Sue Cooper, the company’s co-owner, came up with the idea to attract innovative and energetic employees to their out-of-the-box organization and to tackle the problem of high housing costs.

Applicants from around the country and overseas can apply by completing a form on www.winajobinkeywest.com, and attaching a resume with a 300 word statement explaining why they want the job. The team is looking for applicants who fit in with the Lazy Dog ideology of making every day exceptional while living a relaxed island life.

Lazy Dog is run by a group of young entrepreneurs who met years ago and share a love of dogs. The business offers everything from kayak and boating trips to a creative and popular clothing line featuring their canine friends. The clothing line has sky rocketed in the past year, growing the business by 200% and expanding rapidly throughout the United States. The winner of the contest will have the opportunity to pick up on this momentum and propel the business forward.

“This growth has been phenomenal,” says co-owner Sue Cooper. “Now we’re ready to explode, and we can’t wait to add new energy and ideas to our team.”

The winner will be welcomed to Key West with a year of free housing in a prestigious community. The new executive will have hands-on involvement with all aspects of the business ranging from marketing and sales to outdoor adventures on Key West’s beautiful waters. With a salary of $75,000 and no housing costs, the executive will be in a position to enjoy all the opportunities Key West has to offer.

Lazy Dog isn’t just an organization; it’s a way of life. The company is spearheaded by Sue Cooper, a former marketing executive. Cooper realized that although she had achieved many of her goals in life at a young age, something was missing. She moved to Key West and found a job as a kayak tour guide. Within several years Cooper owned the business she worked for, and bought into another kayak tour company. Since then she has joined forces with David Richard, artist and creator of the Lazy Dog designs. With Cooper’s business savvy and Richard’s artistic talent, the two friends have created a booming business.

The Lazy Dog team has many crazy adventure credits to its name, including the Paddle Around Key West Race, hiking the entire Appalachian Trail, sailing 16 ft Hobie Cats from Key West to Cuba, paddling kayaks in 70 miles of open water from Key West to the Dry Tortugas, and dozens of road races, marathons and triathlons. Their lives are true to their business name – “adventure.”
