## Story

JDog Brands, the parent company of both JDog Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care, holds a strong commitment to Veterans and their post-service success. With a mission of decreasing unemployment rates in the Veteran community and better supporting the community as a whole, JDog Brands provides Veterans and military families accessible employment opportunities through franchising with its brands.

Christopher Vultaggio, a new JDog Junk Removal & Hauling owner, has experienced this firsthand. After working as an employee of JDog for over three years, he decided it was time to open his own location. That business launched in Temecula, California earlier this year.

“I come from a large military family, so being involved in organizations and supporting businesses that give back to our Veterans has always been important,” he said. “But, being able to bring JDog Junk Removal & Hauling to my community will bring employment opportunities to those that have served, and I couldn’t be more proud to do that.”

With two brothers, two cousins and a father who served in the Air Force, Army and Marines, Vultaggio has a close personal connection to the Veteran community and understands the importance of giving back whenever possible.

Through his new business, he is able to do just that, expanding the available employment opportunities for Veterans in the Temecula area while nurturing a workplace that aligns with the values many Veterans hold close to their hearts.

“Our mission at JDog is to bring the Veteran Unemployment rate below 1%. The city of Temecula has a population of over 8,000 Veterans and is the perfect area to provide this kind of support,” said Jerry Flanagan, founder and CEO of JDog Brands. “Veteran family members like Christopher have an intimate understanding of the importance of people, purpose and patriotism — a crucial aspect of our mission. I’m looking forward to watching this amazing man grow his business as he continues to contribute to the Veteran community.”

Headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, JDog Brands was founded by Army Veteran Jerry Flanagan, JDog’s CEO, and his wife, Tracy Flanagan, when they recognized the struggle many Veterans faced when acclimating back to civilian life. JDog Junk Hauling & Removal and JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care create business ownership opportunities exclusively for Veterans and their families with more than 270 JDog franchises across the country. JDog Brands provides franchisees with comprehensive training and support for every step of their business ownership journey.
