Path for Paws and Our New Pond!

What was once an eye sore of a “pond/swamp” in front of the shelter, is now a beautiful pond. We are finishing up the final touches and offering an opportunity to add your very own custom engraved brick for the Path for Paws.
Celebrate with us to commemorate our new pond! We are ready to start adding the custom engraved bricks in our path for Paws. From now until August 15th 2017, we are offering:
- $50 OFF the cost of a 4x8 inch brick (normally $150 - now only $100)
- $100 OFF the cost of an 8x8 brick (normally $300 – now only $200)
- BOTH brick sizes offer FREE CLIP ART
We’d like to share a new and exciting way YOU CAN support our shelters pets and programs – and the pets in our care as they wait for their “furever” homes. The PATH FOR PAWS is such a special and unique way to leave your “permanent mark” on and at our shelte. Show your support for the shelters pet and programs, to create a permanent memorial and life-saving idea to celebrate your special holiday/s-birthday-graduation-weddings-births-anniversaries or to honor a beloved friend, family member or pet - past OR present – or even to commemorate a milestone in your family.
These custom bricks are truly the gift that keeps giving and helping to save more lives every day as well as helps to make our new pond even more attractive and special!
You brick can r ecognize your pet(s), h onor a family member, and celebrate animals finding loving homes as well as all the programs the shelter has for both people and pets. A custom brick is also a unique and special gift idea – one that is permanently displayed year round and will be seen by hundreds of thousands of people over the years!
All bricks are a classic brick red with black lettering. Each brick size has different options for lines – characters – and location for clip art – Spaces count as “letters”, as do punctuation. The cost for a single 4×8 brick is NORMALLY $150.00. Should you wish to order more than ONE brick we are happy to discount additional bricks for only $100 each (to receive discount on more than 1 brick additional bricks must be ordered at the same time). The cost for a single 8×8 brick is NORMALLY $300.00 Should you wish to order more than ONE brick we are happy to discount additional bricks for only $250 each (to receive discount on more than 1 brick additional bricks must be ordered at the same time).
Some of the current bricks we’ve had engraved are beautiful sentiments dedicated to a family or friend – others are dedicated to a pet we’ve maybe loved and/or lost – some honor a wedding/birthday/anniversary or the day they adopted their beloved pet from our shelter and many others are just thoughtful shelter supporters with their family names on the beautifully engraved bricks that memorialize something special to the family. We still need your help to finish our PATH FOR PAWS. We are still (and will continue to take orders over the upcoming month/years.. as we have a lot of space to fill!) accepting brick orders and will be doing so you can order your custom engraved brick in either a 4×8 or 8×8.

LIGHTS – FOUNTAINS – CAMERAS … oh my!!
We have already been approached by many people and groups who are interested in actually having photo shoots done at the pond as well! From prom pictures, to wedding photos and even senior class photos. Even with the pond in the construction phases and not quite done, we’ve already had a two different school groups (Watchusett and Leominster HS) arrange to “rent” our pond for their photo shoots!!! Who knew???
If you have a special event coming up and might be interested in having your family portraits, school photos, wedding photos or just fun photos done at the pond please contact leigh13@ix.netcom.com. We would be more than happy to work something out to help you!
Check out the photos from Leominster & Watchusett H.S. pre prom pix at the pond. We filled the pond and turned on the fountains for some great photos!
