A Home for Pathway
With four long term boarders, and others that come and go at K9 Nanni, it was time to come up with a solution outside of boarding our dogs. Linda and Tashon, the owners of K9 Nanni, approached us with the greatest gift our dogs have ever received. A HOME FOR PATHWAY! There is an empty building on their property, attached to a fenced play yard, that is perfect to house up to a dozen dogs. Our estimated cost for renovations, staffing and maintenance for A Home for Pathway is $50,000. For a small, all-volunteer rescue, this is a HUGE amount of money, but it is one that we are determined to achieve to give a home to our babies and save so many more lives!
We consider Petey, Greta, Ophelia, and Adeline our founding members of A Home for Pathway. They truly stand for who we are at Pathway. All four of these dogs are not easy adoptions, and all four have cost Pathway countless hours, dollars, tears, and moments of hopelessness. BUT, all four have given us so much more than we could ever give them. To come from lives of extreme abuse and neglect and learn to trust, love, and enjoy life – it’s something that most of us are incapable of. And, the people lucky enough to spend time with these beautiful dogs have been blessed to feel the power of forgiveness and love that only a dog could possess. We don’t know what the future holds for Greta, Petey, Adeline and Ophelia, but we promise to be there for them every step of the way.
We truly can't wait to be inviting you all out for our next big event - the unveiling of A Home for Pathway!
