Dear Rescue Dogs,
Thank you so very much for your donation to Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter!! We greatly appreciate your dedication to homeless pets and your awesome hearts!
Rescue Dog was born in the midst of 2020. A year filled with challenges, we founded the idea that success isn't just about money, but instead improving our communities.
The Rescue Dog Founders have a combined business ownership of over 50 years, 35 of which were spent as a Franchisor. With backgrounds in business, financial industry, manufacturing, and food service the Founders used their combined knowledge to craft the Franchise you see today. From giving back to success the Rescue Dog Family is ready to help start your journey.
When joining the Rescue Dog family you will be taking the first step to improving your community. Helping your local animal adoption center or non-kill shelter is a major component of the franchise's success. With a portion of every sale going to helping your shelter of choice the feel good, feels even better when your business takes off!
Owning your own business is great. However, owning a business that serves the best hot dogs in the USA and helps the community is even better! Using only the best 1/3 LB All Beef Hot Dogs, brand exclusive recipes, and boasting a unique Huckleberry signature drink and dessert makes our overall model the full package!
