Young entrepreneurs will introduce the brand's new reduced-investment prototype to Weatherford, Burleson and Granbury, Texas
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Camp Bow Wow®, the nation's leading dog daycare and boarding franchise and part of the Propelled Brands® family, today announced a three-unit franchise agreement that will bring its next generation of pet care facilities to Weatherford, Burleson and Granbury, Texas.
The agreement with Trinity Shields and Abigale (Abby) Freeman, of Fort Worth, marks one of the latest multi-unit commitments under Camp Bow Wow's recently launched reduced-investment prototype, which lowers the initial investment by more than $400,000 while creating greater flexibility in site selection and accelerating multi-unit expansion. It follows the debut of similar buildouts opening in Dulles, Va. and Gallatin, Tenn.
"The momentum we're seeing around this new prototype validates that franchise candidates are looking for smarter economics without compromising the customer experience," said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of Propelled Brands, the parent company for Camp Bow Wow. "Trinity and Abby represent exactly the kind of growth partners we want to attract. They are entrepreneurs who believe in our mission, embrace the operating model and are committed to becoming leaders in their local communities."
A married couple and now business partners, Shields and Freeman discovered Camp Bow Wow while researching franchise opportunities and were drawn to the brand's proven operating systems, strong unit economics, transparent culture and unwavering commitment to dog safety.
"Camp Bow Wow wasn't just another pet care business," said Freeman. "The brand's values matched ours. It wasn't about the money first. It was about the dogs, their safety and creating the best experience possible for every pet parent."
"We also appreciated how supported we felt throughout the entire discovery process," added Shields. "The reduced-investment prototype gives us a realistic path to grow one successful location at a time while building a business that becomes part of each community we serve."
They intend to work closely with local veterinarians, rescue organizations and animal shelters while creating welcoming neighborhood destinations for dog daycare, boarding, grooming and enrichment services. Their first location will open in Weatherford, with the other two to follow.
