Richmond, VA - June 29, 2015 - On Liberty Property Trust's annual national day of service in honor of its founder, Willard "Bill" G. Rouse III, the company's Richmond office came together in support of Bandit's Adoption & Rescue of K-9's (BARK), a non-profit organization that rescues orphaned or abandoned pets and other adoptable dogs from animal shelters in the Richmond area.

Liberty employees rolled up their sleeves to help walk dogs, clean kennels, and repair pens for the organization.

For more than a decade, Liberty Property Trust employees have honored the memory of company founder Willard "Bill" G. Rouse III with a national day of community service. It is traditionally observed on the Friday closest to his birthday, June 19, and celebrated by over 400 employees in the company's more than 20 offices in the US and UK.

Located in Ashland, Virginia, Bandit's Adoption & Rescue of K-9s was formed for the express purpose of rescuing orphaned or abandoned pets and other adoptable dogs from local shelters and finding loving, forever homes for them.
