STERLING, Ill., Nov. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Amos Family had a dream—to raise $1 million to help shelter dogs find forever homes. Now, with the help of pet industry leaders Wahl and GreaterGood.org, this dream is a reality. The Australian family of five has picked up and moved to the states, and for the next year their home will be an RV and a giant dog-shaped mobile dog washing vehicle. It's called the Bathe to Save Tour, and its mission is to visit 150 cities in all 50 states, raise money and awareness, and wash more than 25,000 dogs to get them ready for adoption.

Meet the Amos Family – They’re traveling the United States in a mobile dog washing station with the mission to save the lives of shelter dogs. Their goals: visit all 50 States, wash 25,000 shelter dogs and raise $1 million for animal rescues.

"When it comes to adoption, first impressions are crucial; unfortunately, less than half of dogs entering shelters each year are getting the grooming they need so their lovable, adoptable selves can shine through," says Anthony Amos, dad to Bella (13 years-old), Austin (12 years-old) and Aria (11 years-old). "One bath at a time, our goal is to save the lives of dogs that would otherwise be euthanized."
