Everyone wants something better — are you ready to get something better for yourself, your community, your family, and for those who come after you
Our Franchise Owners get to work with Hounds Town Charities — whose mission is to help rehabilitate and train animals that the rest of society has given up on.
The average initial Hounds Town USA investment is 40% less than the top competing dog daycare franchises.
DOG LOVER: You should be passionate about animals and providing the best experience for companion pets and their four-legged family members.
TIRED OF CORPORATE CULTURE: If you describe yourself as uptight and corporate, you might not enjoy the Hounds Town culture. We want people who are ready to make a real difference in the lives of animals and humans.
BUSINESS BACKGROUND: You should have a knack for sales and/or management, leading a small team of employees and working hard.
COMMUNITY-MINDED: You should be excited about getting active in your community by promoting your new business to help reduce euthanization rates, educate the community, and establish dog handling protocols to make shelters, rescues, and staff safer.
And, as we’ve quickly grown to over 100 locations nationwide, our territories have been selling out faster and faster!
So quit chasing your tail. Follow your dreams before this opportunity, and life passes you by!
