Dog Biscuits + Stimulus $$ = Small Business

9:24 AM

Some would say a difficult economy is a horrible thing to waste. When the special-needs students of LESA Pathway School in Livingston County, MI were given the obstacle of obtaining starter jobs in a down market, they thought of no better way to utilize the school's stimulus money than to invest in a profitable company where they can better themselves and the community.

"Roughly 25 to 30 of Pathway's 18- to 26-year-old special needs students are running Lacey's Love Dog Biscuit Company, a fully inspected and licensed business that hopefully will lead them toward a career." MILive.com

Lacey's was named after the school therapy dog, Lacey, who receives much love from the students of Pathway. The biscuit recipe has been approved by the Federal Drug & Food Administration, the business passed their first surprise inspection and each biscuit is made with love.

"I love Lacey's Love Dog Biscuits, and I'd recommend them to all of my dog friends." - Baxter

The pathway students have been working double-time to get ready for the holiday season. Lacey's biscuits would be a great addition to:

  • Halloween treat bags (for festive canines)
  • Client gift baskets for dog lovers
  • Holiday gifts for dogs

How To Order:

Lacey's Love Dog Biscuits:
$3 per bag of 15 biscuits.

Thanks for the article. I live in Hartland, and I've purchased these biscuits for my dogs a couple times now. They love them. I feel great knowing that my money is going toward a good cause.

Oh, what a lovely initiative. Good for the children and for dogs, too. I would love to have something like that here. in Romania.
