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!

Our Experience

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.
