Getting Ready for Africa 2025

The Pup Relief Tour Africa are dedicated to bringing free grooming services and education to underserved communities across Africa. This year, we’re excited to expand our mission by opening two permanent grooming schools in Nigeria, ensuring long-term impact through skill development and pet care education. Your donation helps cover travel expenses for our team, grooming supplies, and the establishment of these schools. Together, we’re making a lasting difference for pets and their communities!

2023- Three Years of Transformation: A Pup Relief Tour Journey

Our Mission and Progress

“Three years ago, we embarked on an inspiring mission with Pup Relief Tour INC: to bring accessible pet grooming services to underprivileged communities across America. Today, we celebrate grooming over 1,800 pets, absolutely free of charge, thanks to our network of over 100 dedicated volunteer groomers. Our workshops have educated countless pet owners in 16 states, sowing seeds of knowledge and empowerment. Our reach even extended internationally, with successful training sessions in Lagos, Nigeria. This journey has been about more than grooming—it’s about nurturing connections, spreading joy, and creating a world where every pet is loved and cared for.”

Addressing the Core Problem

“In many cities, the stark reality is that pet grooming is a luxury beyond reach for low-income families. This gap not only affects the pets but also the morale of the community. We at Pup Relief Tour INC (501c) are determined to bridge this divide. By offering no-cost and low-cost grooming, combined with educational initiatives, we’re tackling this challenge head-on. Our approach is comprehensive: we’re not just grooming pets; we’re educating owners, empowering aspiring groomers, and building community resilience.”

Our Unique Solution and Competitive Edge

“Our solution has been unique and effective. We’re not just another pet grooming service; we’re a movement. We are launching a pilot grooming schools within prisons, our efforts to support black-owned businesses, and our mission to make pet care accessible and cool again set us apart. We’ve established grooming schools, created networks of skilled groomers, and fostered a community of support and sharing. This holistic approach has given us a significant edge over alternatives.

The Future We Envision

“Looking ahead, our dreams are ambitious but achievable. We plan to groom 10,000 pets annually by 2030, expanding our tours to new cities, including rural areas, Native American reservations, and urban neighborhoods. Our vision is of a nation where every pet, regardless of its owner’s financial situation, receives the care and love they deserve. We’re committed to making pet grooming accessible and inclusive, and with your support, we can turn this vision into reality.”

Your Role in this Mission

“Your support has been the cornerstone of our success. Whether it’s through donations, sharing our story, or engaging with us on social media, you are a vital part of this journey. With every dollar, every share, and every word of encouragement, you’re helping us to spread love and care to pets and their families across the nation. Join us as we continue to make a difference, one pet at a time.”

The Pup Relief Tour 2021

The PRT 2020 was a huge success! With your donations and support we were able to visit 8 locations and service 820 dogs. For the summer tour, we started in NYC then traveled to DC, Wilmington, NC, Atlanta, Dallas, and Los Angeles. We were then able to help out in Lafayette, LA after their disastrous 2020 hurricane season. Lastly, we helped a Brooklyn shop get back on its feet after their store was robbed and vandalized earlier this year.

We have big plans for the PRT! This year alone we plan to do another summer tour
