Quick Facts Salvage Dawgs, Genre ...

Background

The show is centered around employees of Black Dog Salvage – a salvage company based out of Roanoke, Virginia that finds, acquires, and eventually sells valuable (yet abandoned or soon-to-be destroyed) pieces of construction salvage. According to Whiteside and Kulp, Black Dog Salvage was established when the pair found themselves in possession of a large vinyl sign, managing to sell it soon after coming across it. This sale led to the evolution from simple garage sales to the purchase of a company warehouse, where they now operate.[4]

Production

In 2020, the series ceased production due to the coronavirus outbreak, in addition to the sale of DIY Network.[2][3] and its transformation into Magnolia Network.
