If you find the environment distracting and unpleasant; say so. If they don't want to change the environment, go somewhere else.

I love dogs too but there's few that will be happy in an office environment; set them up a fenced yard outside and hire a minder or take shifts for that among the dog lovers... hired will be less contentious.

time to dust off the resume
