Prairie Paws Animal Shelter
Our Mission
Prairie Paws Animal Shelter’s Mission Statement is to provide compassionate care and placement for animals in need.
Prairie Paws Animal Shelter is a private, no kill, 501 (c)(3), non-profit shelter, founded over 70 years ago by Beatrice Martin Peck. Though the tireless efforts of our staff and volunteers Prairie Paws Animal Shelter is dedicated to carrying out the following actions:
· Give aid and comfort to the homeless shelter animals
· Educate the community in responsible pet ownership
· Help reunite pets with owners by offering low cost micro chipping
· Provide pet adoptions
· Create a safer community
Adoption Policy
Our animals change daily, so please check our lists of adoptable dogs and adoptable cats frequently.
All PPAS pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on routine vaccines (including rabies if age appropriate), and will be microchipped and registered in the adopter's name at the time of adoption. Adopters get a free consultation at an area vet partner within 14 days of adoption. Any dog that is six months of age or older will be tested for Heartworms and if found negative, will be kept on Heartworm prevention during their shelter stay, after the adoption it is up to the adopter to continue the highly recommended Heartworm preventative treatment. Also all PPAS shelter dogs are treated with a monthly topical flea/tick preventative and we ask that adopters continue that treatment as well.
