Dave and Valerie McInnes have invested a significant portion of their savings in helping animals that have no voice.
Their first day as owners at Barkland in the Parkland Pet Resort and Crematorium was on July 1, 2023.
"We're loving every minute. We are going broke doing what we're passionate about," said David. "These dogs and cats deserve so much better. We're going to pour all our all into it until we have nothing left to pour. It has been amazing."
To celebrate their more than two years in business, they're holding an open house on Saturday from 11:00 to 4:00. They're welcoming everyone in the community to stop by for a tour and to meet all their furry guests. Located 1.7 miles west of the 5&10 bypass on Road 144N, McIness says an event like this has been in the works for a long time.
He knows the community wants to see what Barkland in the Parkland Pet Resort and Crematorium is all about. Animals will be up for adoption on Saturday, and as Dave says, he's hoping you can provide one of the beautiful animals with their forever home.
"At the end of the day, the most important thing is finding a loving and caring home for our guests," ended McInnes. "We hope that people will come out, meet, greet, and fall in love. And not be able to go home without dreaming of having that forever partner sitting on the couch watching the game with you."
McInnes says they plan to offer food at the event.
