Camp Bow
Wow’s “Bow Wow Buddies Foundation” Offers
A Second
Chance to Sick and Injured Pets in Need
Nonprofit Alleviates Urgent
Vet Care Expenses for Struggling Pet Owners
& Rescue Groups
DENVER,
Colo. (October 6, 2015) –
Camp Bow Wow®, the Premier Doggy Day and Overnight Camp®
franchise and an Entrepreneur Franchise
500 company, is offering a second chance to sick and injured
dogs in need through the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, a
nonprofit dedicated to providing urgent medical care funds
to dogs who are
either homeless or whose parents cannot afford to pay their
veterinary bills.
“Each year, countless pets are denied urgent
medical care simply because their parents cannot afford the
treatment costs,” said Erin
Askeland, Training & Communication Manager for Camp Bow Wow
and the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation. “For struggling pet
parents faced with this impossible choice, the Bow Wow
Buddies Foundation is a lifeline that can ease the financial
burdens of treating their sick or injured dog—and
potentially prevent the heartbreaking loss of their furry
loved one, as a result.”
In addition to helping struggling pet
parents, the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation also provides grants
to animal shelters and rescue groups that need assistance to
provide necessary medical treatments for sick or injured
dogs awaiting adoption.
"We are often contacted by owners who’ve
fallen on hard times and are forced to surrender their dogs
because they cannot afford their advanced medical
treatments,” says Lindsay Condon, President and CEO of the
Denver-based nonprofit rescue group, Big Dogs Huge Paws. “It
can be quite devastating to both the pets and the families
who love them. By helping pet parents get their dogs the
care they need, the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation is helping to
not only heal them but to keep them in their loving forever
homes and prevent the need for rehoming.”
The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation will award
grants up to $2,500 for necessary medical treatments for
dogs in need across North America including, but not limited
to, broken bones, abdominal obstruction, heartworm,
enucleation, parvovirus, cancer, and emergency services. The
Bow Wow Buddies Foundation is seeking donations, of any
amount, to support this cause and to help more animals in
need. Every donation helps a dog stay healthy and happy in
their home. To
