Camp Bow Wow® is accelerating its expansion across North Texas with a newly signed three-unit franchise agreement. Fort Worth entrepreneurs and married couple Trinity Shields and Abigale (Abby) Freeman will bring the nation’s leading dog daycare and boarding franchise to Weatherford, Burleson, and Granbury, Texas, with Weatherford set as their inaugural site.

Highlighting Key Strategic Milestones

Proof of Concept for the New Prototype: This expansion represents one of the latest multi-unit commitments leveraging Camp Bow Wow’s recently launched reduced-investment prototype. Designed to streamline development and lower initial startup costs by nearly $500,000, the streamlined model improves unit economics and expands site selection flexibility in high-demand markets.
Driven by Culture and Safety: Drawn to Camp Bow Wow’s proven operational systems and transparent culture, Shields and Freeman prioritized safety and pet parent trust over basic business logistics. “Camp Bow Wow wasn’t just another pet care business,” shared Freeman. “It was about the dogs, their safety, and creating the best experience possible for every pet parent.”
Community-Focused Growth: The new franchisees plan to integrate into their local communities by partnering closely with area veterinarians, shelters, and rescue groups while offering premium daycare, overnight boarding, grooming, and dog enrichment services.

“The momentum we're seeing around this new prototype validates that franchise candidates are looking for smarter economics without compromising the customer experience. Trinity and Abby represent exactly the kind of growth partners we want to attract.”

Following recent buildouts in Virginia, Arizona, California and Tennessee, North Texas continues to highlight how Camp Bow Wow’s reduced-investment footprint allows multi-unit candidates to enter expanding suburban and infill markets with accelerated, sustainable momentum.
