1 The Path for Paws is the name for The Sterling Shelters ENGRAVED BRICK PROGRAM. The bricks that will line the path represent symbolic milestones in the life of a person-pet-or special event. While donors can quite literally, pave that path brick by brick, it s the inscriptions on those bricks that makes the program so meaningful. Sterling Shelter s PATH FOR PAWS Fundraising Campaign is underway and is ongoing YEAR ROUND. A permanent memorial and life-saving idea to celebrate your special group/company/organization OR holiday/s-birthday-graduationweddings-births/anniversaries or just a great gift idea! This is also a wonderful, unique and heartfelt HOLIDAY gift for the long list of family, friends and colleagues on your list! YOU can Help US, help those who need us... Recognize your pet/s, honor a family member, and celebrate animals finding loving homes as well as all the programs the shelter has for both people and pets! If you haven't been to our shelter recently we've got some big changes happening! The once unusable swamp in front of the shelter is being renovated into a beautiful tranquil space that will feature a beautiful new pond. Below is what our SWAMP looked like the Summer of 2016! Above is the most recent photo taken Summer 2018 we ve definitely made a huge improvement in making this area of the shelter a LOT more happy and peaceful! The pond renovation covers a large area in front of the shelter in a figure 8 and is about 50x100 feet! We ve added a few fish and hope to eventually add different breeds of fish including Koi fish and a few areas for seating. The project is constantly evolving and has been a huge work in progress while enjoying the peaceful space AND OF COURSE have all our brick donors visit the Path for Paws to find their very own engraved brick which will be a permanent fixture at our 1
