Through her personal and professional tragedies – from the loss of her young husband, to losing a million dollar insurance settlement – Heidi has faced extraordinary adversity. She responded by turning her life-long passion for dogs into Camp Bow Wow and created The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives and health of animals all over the world. In 2003, Heidi started franchising the concept and has now sold over 200 franchises. Today, Camp Bow Wow is one of the largest women owned franchise companies, one of the largest and fastest growing brands in the pet industry, the largest pet care franchise in the world and a $65 million leader in the $53 billion United States pet sector. Outside of leading Camp Bow Wow, Heidi is on the board at the University of Colorado’s Leeds Business School, speaks professionally around the country and runs The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation – Camp Bow Wow’s 501c3 focused on lending a paw to animals in need. Heidi is married to Jason, who travels the competitive BBQ circuit, and the proud mom of Tori, Hollie and one year old twins, Jack and Jenna!
