About
Welcome to Pawfect Pathways for Aniyah—a heartfelt mission dedicated to advocacy, community, and compassionate healing. Founded by Chasten Cole, Aniyah’s mother, Pawfect Pathways is committed to supporting Aniyah’s recovery, promoting child safety, and encouraging responsible Emotional Support Animal (ESA) ownership.
Aniyah’s Story
Aniyah, a vibrant 8-year-old with a bright future, faced a life-changing event when she was severely injured by an untrained dog in her community. This tragic incident has brought lasting physical and emotional challenges, yet Aniyah has demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience throughout her recovery journey. Her story fuels our dedication to creating a safer environment for both children and pets.
Supporting Aniyah’s Cause
Alongside advocating for policy changes to enhance child safety, we are raising funds to cover Aniyah’s medical expenses, therapy, and recovery. Through our initiative, Planet Plate, we donate proceeds from ethically made, organic products to Pawfect Pathways. Each purchase represents a step forward in Aniyah’s journey and fosters a community committed to responsible pet ownership.

ABOUT

Our Cause
Pawfect Pathways for Aniyah is on a heartfelt mission to ensure community safety, and responsible pet ownership, and support the recovery of 8-year-old Aniyah, who endured severe injuries from a dog attack. This initiative raises funds for her medical expenses and therapy and drives a broader vision to create safer communities for children, pets, and their owners.
Our platform will expand this mission by developing an innovative app integrating ESA training, certification, and community safety resources. The app will empower pet and ESA owners to meet clear safety and behavioral standards, providing training modules, emergency protocols, and resources for responsible care. This technology supports advocacy efforts by addressing the gaps in ESA regulations, ensuring owners are equipped to prevent incidents and respond effectively when emergencies occur.
Thanks to the generosity of Crush'n Cookies, we’re selling their donated cookies to fund both Aniyah’s recovery and the development of our app. Every cookie purchased directly contributes to a safer, more informed community by supporting education, awareness, and tools for responsible pet ownership.
Join us in making a difference—help Aniyah heal, advocate for stronger ESA policies, and take part in building safer environments for families, pets, and owners alike! Together, we can drive change and create lasting impact through technology, advocacy, and compassion.
