K9 Rescue Retreat: Walk, Swim & Unwind- Nelson
Enhancing the lives of Shelter Dogs -Nelson
Nelson
Every shelter dog deserves a joyful experience, enriching activities, and opportunities to learn new life skills while waiting for their new family. Your donations can help make this possible for fortunate pups.
MaxieMim Performance, in partnership with Walks & Stays, is excited to offer rescue dogs a special K9 pampering session. Walks & Stays will pick up a pup from the Nelson SPCA or another rescue center, providing them with an outdoor walking adventure before heading to MaxieMim Performance for some time in the hydrotherapy pool.
Depending on the dog's needs, they can enjoy safe play in the pool with toys and treats, or perhaps learn to swim with one of our skilled water coaches to boost their water confidence. Some shelter dogs might require assistance with weight management or post-surgery recovery to help regain muscle and stamina.
Additionally, MaxieMim Performance will provide a K9 massage session to pamper these shelter dogs further.
K9 Spa Day: This 60-minute session includes a walking adventure and then coach-led swimming and safe play, followed by a cleansing shampoo and conditioning shower with a massage. The normal cost is $105, but it's offered at a discounted price of $55 for shelter dogs
2.Canine Massage: A relaxing 30-minute massage session, normally priced at $40, now available for $20 for shelter dogs

What a pleasure it was to have Barney through the K9 Retreat. Such a sweet boy who really loved the water. He was all about attention, cuddles, play and swimming. He will make a super fun companion for someone who is active and loves water too. He is available for adoption at the Nelson SPCA. Thank you to those who donated to be able to give Barney this amazing experience.
