Story

Established in 1997
Dogs Rule Day Care & School® began when Sallie Hughes left a 24-year career in sales and marketing to follow her dream of working with dogs. She began with a playground on Pleasant View Road and was soon entertaining five to ten dogs a day. Her location was a bit out of the way, and dog day cares were almost unheard of at the time.
In 2000, Sallie bought a moving van and converted it into a bus in order to pick up dogs for her day care. As a result, the business grew as did the need for help. By chance, Olivia Montgomery moved onto the street where Sallie lived, and she agreed to work for Sallie part-time. However, this temporary job grew on her so much, before she knew it Olivia became Sallie's business partner. In March 2003, Sallie and Olivia found a perfect space in midtown Memphis. With its large building, parking lot, and central location they knew it was the perfect place to relocate their dog day care. Dogs Rule® opened in its current location on May 1, 2003.
