About Us

When Heidi Flammang opened the first Camp Bow Wow in Denver in 2000, giving back to the pups she loves was always part of the plan. As the company grew, and begin franchising in 2003, Heidi encouraged franchisees to incorporate cause-based marketing and active foster programs into their businesses.

Now, with more than 200 franchises sold, Heidi was in a position to give back in a bigger way, by forming the non-profit Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives and health of dogs throughout the world.


Our Mission

The mission of The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation Inc. is to promote the health and welfare of dogs worldwide, focusing on homing, health issues and humane treatment. We further our mission in several ways, including promoting foster and adoption programs to help dogs find loving homes; partnering with other animal welfare organizations that share the foundation’s mission; fundraising for the foundation and the causes it supports; implementing education programs on animal welfare; providing volunteer and financial support in disaster relief areas; and providing volunteer and financial support internationally in areas where dogs are neglected and mistreated.
