WESTMINSTER, Colo.,
June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Camp Bow Wow®, the nation's largest Doggy Day
Care and Boarding franchise, continues to prove its unceasing
capacity to lead the dog care business by introducing a 10% Public
Protectors discount off its Initial Franchisee Fee. This new
offering applies to any potential Camp owners who have worked at
least two consecutive years as a firefighter, law enforcement
officer or paramedic. The 100+ million-dollar brand, which ranked
#1 in the pet category on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list for
2016 and 2017 and named in Entrepreneur's 2017 Best of the Best
List in pet services, remains at the forefront of the thriving pet
care industry by adding this new program element in order to
continuously provide lucrative opportunities for entrepreneurial
pet lovers.
The inspiration for the Public Protectors Discount arose
when Camp Bow Wow met new franchisees, Frank Rizzo and Steve Shatkin.
Rizzo, in the promotional products industry and Shatkin, a video
editor at CBS by day, are New
Jersey Police Training Commission Certified Humane Law
Enforcement Officers, active in animal cruelty prevention at night
and on weekends. Over the years, the duo has dedicated their free
time to investigating the allegations of animal abuse and cruelty
throughout the state of New
Jersey. They tirelessly save the lives of many innocent
animals; removing them from unpleasant, dangerous and often
disturbing situations, providing them with the care they need to
help them find their forever homes.
"We have always had a passion for animals and have wanted
to make our work for helping those in need a more significant part
of our lives," said Rizzo. "When you are involved in the Animal
Protection world, you see many unsavory things that have happened
to animals. Owning a dog franchise will give us the opportunity to
treat our Campers the way all owners should treat their
pets."
Rizzo and Shatkin's Camp Bow Wow location will open in
Northern New Jersey in 2018. Their
admirable work encouraged the brand to offer the Public Protectors
Discount to help further expand its franchisee network and make it
more accessible to courageous firefighters, law enforcement
officers and paramedics.
"Frank and Steve have done exemplary work for the animals
of New Jersey," said Christina Russell, President of Camp Bow
Wow. "We are so inspired by their courageous
acts and want to extend our deepest gratitude to them
as well as to potential franchise owners who have spent their lives
going above and beyond in their communities, ensuring everyone, two
and four-legged, are living happy and healthy lives."
The establishment of the Public Protectors Discount allows
the franchisor to bring on new owners to join its pack to help
reinforce the company's vision of "Happy Healthy Pets, Happy
Healthy People."
