When
11 year-old Austin Amos found out that 1.2 million dogs are killed in
U.S. animal shelters each year, and only one out of every 10 dogs ever
finds a permanent home, he was sad and wanted to do something about it.
He talked to his dad, Anthony, the founder of HydroDog, a mobile pet
grooming company, and the two of them, along with his two sisters and
mother, created the Bathe to Save Tour to wash dogs and raise awareness
for man’s best friend.
The
Bathe to Save Tour is now on the road and traveling the country for the
next 18 months and will visit all 50 states, 150+ cities and wash
25,000+ dogs with the goal of raising $1M that will be donated to animal
rescue groups and organizations throughout the country.
“We
purchased and moved into a 40ft motor coach and will be travelling the
country to make a difference in the lives of our four-legged friends,”
Anthony Amos, founder of the Bathe to Save Tour, said. “No dogs or any
other animals should be in shelters. We believe they can all be saved.”
Bubbles,
the mobile pet grooming unit shaped like a giant blue dog, is being
towed by the Amos family’s 40 ft. motor home that’s wrapped in the Bathe
to Save logo and other corporate sponsors. Bubbles was adopted out to
the Bathe to Save tour by HydroDog Mobile Pet Grooming. Other sponsors of the tour include John Paul Pet, founded by John Paul DeJoria who is the co-founder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair products, and Riley's Organic Dog Treats. Celebrity endorsements include Harrison Forbes, celebrity pet expert; and Kevin Harrington from the hit television show Shark Tank.
“I’m
very proud to be part of this outstanding project that will be washing
dogs and holding events to raise money and awareness for animal rescues
around the country,” Harrington said. “I encourage everyone to join this
awesome Aussie family in saving as many rescue dogs as possible.”
The
Bathe to Save Tour will be on the road through the middle of 2017, and
all proceeds are donated to animal rescue organizations.
