Brick Order Form

Entrance to Sterling Animal Shelter Memorial Brick Pathway.

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, its the inscriptions on those bricks that makes the program so meaningful.

Sterling Shelters PATH FOR PAWS Fundraising Campaign is underway and is ongoing YEAR ROUND. A permanent memorial and life-saving idea to celebrate your special holiday/s-birthday-graduation-weddings-births-anniversaries or just a great gift idea! 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 retention pond / swamp in front of the shelter has been renovated into a beautiful tranquil space that will feature a beautiful new pond.

Below is what our SWAMP looked like in June, 2016.

                  August 2016 our pond has come a LONG way 

The pond renovation covers a large area in front of the shelter and will feature a figure 8 and is a beautiful 50 x 100 foot pond. Summer of 2019  we started our Koi and Pond Fish Rescue Program with fountains, bridges, and seating areas. We wanted to provide more space for shelter visitors, the ability to do meet and greets, and relax while enjoying the peaceful space. Summer of 2020 we will start holding Koi adoption days stay tuned for details!

Our mission is to dedicate this beautiful tranquil outdoor space to both two and four legged friends, pet lovers and family members and to ALL of our friends, family, supporters and donors – pets both past and present and to honor both people and pets that we love, loved, or those we’ve lost, as well as those we want to remember, acknowledge or memorialize. The Path for Paws Will be Paved with YOUR Milestones and Memories – a special way to honor a beloved friend, family member or pet – or to commemorate a milestone in your family, a gift that keeps giving…and helping to save more lives every day.

Path for Paws is the perfect way to leave your permanent mark of care and compassion. This engraved brick campaign provides a beautiful, visible opportunity to create a gift that will last for many years to come! Your brick/s will help support the thousands of pets we care for each year at the Sterling Shelter – allow us to grow our programs for pets and people – to place homeless pets into loving, lifelong homes. Each brick will become part of a large area surrounding the pond where our shelter holds a variety of special public events, including microchip clinics, vaccine clinics, educational seminars, fundraising events, monthly volunteer orientations, educational group tours for kids of all ages and more.
