You may have heard of the
recent puppy mill rescue in Nebraska where 99 animals were
rescued. Several groups came together to rescue and
help the dogs, and Prairie Paws Rescue now has six pups from
that rescue who have just arrived. (Please see their
pictures below. ) Hearts United took 40 of the dogs
and put together a video which we hope you will watch.
Just click here to read more about them on their blog.
Welcome, Friends! We at Prairie Paws Rescue
want to thank you for dropping by our site to take a look at
the lovable animals that we have for
adoption.
We are dedicated to rescuing pets in bad situations.
Most of the animals you see here have been saved from cruel
or neglectful situations... and often from death.
Thanks to many kind-hearted
foster
parents, they are being well cared for until you can
give them a special place in your home and heart. If
you see one of the fur-kids on our site that you would like
to meet, please
give us a
call, and we'll set up an appointment for a visit.
A Big THANK YOU
to Kennedy & Friends!
Kennedy Koch turned nine on Saturday, August 30th.
She had a party, and instead of receiving gifts for
herself, she asked party attendees to bring
something for the pets at Prairie Paws Rescue. What
a great idea! The pets at Prairie Paws Rescue
appreciate the items donated in honor of Kennedy's
ninth birthday.
Prairie Paws Rescue has a "Pet Meet and Greet" the 2nd
Saturday of every month at TSC - located at 1100 5th Ave SE.
Come join us during the "Jamestown Cabin Fever Celebration".
We will be serving refreshments to raise money to help out
our rescued pets. The next one is planned for February 13
from 10am-2pm. Available for adoption are kittens and small
to large breed dogs and puppies. At these events we do NOT
do on-the-spot adoptions, but take applications during the
event for potential adopters and new homes.
Please
consider adopting one of our special buddies.
As always, thank you so much for coming to our Meet and
Greet and for your continued kindness and support!
As many of you know,
Prairie Paws Rescue has no facilities for housing pets.
We depend upon foster homes to take in pets until permanent
homes are found. Fostering an animal can be as short as
overnight (or as long as several months. The animals
are placed in foster homes where nurturing begins, and
during that time their medical process is completed before
being adopted. If you are interested in becoming a
foster caretaker to a pet, please
contact us.
Prairie Paws Rescue Supports Our
Troops
Whitney, Kaye John's daughter,
was doing her part as a rescuer in Iraq as many rescue
groups all over the USA were sending her food to feed the
strays overseas on her off-duty hours. When she gets home ,
it will be great to have another volunteer to help Prairie
Paws Rescue.
Another Great PAWS IN THE PARK
Event!
September 20, 2009: 1-4pm
PAWS IN THE PARK.... Our 3rd Annual
dog walk took place on September 20th, 2009! All
kinds of interesting, informative and fun activities took
place throughout the afternoon at McElroy Park. There
were Agility and Dog Obedience demonstrations, Red Cross Pet
First Aid & CPR demonstrations, vendors, food booths,
raffles, door prizes and more... It was fascinating to
see such a large variety of dogs of all sizes, colors and
shapes getting along so well together. They walked
proudly with their owners around the park, sat with them
during the demonstrations, and even did some "paw printing"
that will most likely go on the frig at home! All in
all, it was a great day, and we're hoping that our rescued
pups (like Macho in the picture below) will find a forever
home. A HUGE THANKS to everyone who participated!
Prairie Paws Rescue wants to
thank everyone who came to our Dog Walk-A-Thon this
year. Your wonderful participation has made it
an annual event!
2007:
Thanks to so many participants, our first Paws in
the Park Dog Walk-A-Thon was a great success!
Dogs from all over the county arrived with their
best friends in tow... men, women, children,
babies... all happy to have a chance to meet other
dogs and dog-lovers. Vibrant dog-talk flowed
continuously... stories about special dog-friends,
facts about health care, good grooming tips,
effective doggy diets (and human diets, too!),
characteristics of a good vet, traveling tips...
People-education took place on a grand scale while
their furry friends looked on and enjoyed the show
and the wonderful companionship of like-souls.
It was a SPECTACULAR day!
Thanks to so many
participants last year, our first Paws in the Park Dog Walk-A-Thon
was a great success, and this year's event was even bigger and
better! All kinds of dog activities and demonstrations took
place. There was an exhilarating dog walk with two trails.
Dogs held out their paws and got their nails clipped. And,
informative demonstrations from Stacey Collins with agility-dog
Rilee, Great Plains Guide dogs of Jud, and Jamestown Police
Department's new K-9 dog took place. Each registrant received
a dog-oriented goodie bag which was enjoyed by all. Thanks to
public support for fundraisers such as this, Prairie Paws Rescue can
continue to save animals-in-need from threatening circumstances.
Have you adopted a pet from Prairie
Paws Rescue? We have had a

adoptions. We are looking for "HAPPY

SPECIAL
ANNOUNCEMENTS...
COLD WEATHER ALERT
We have recently taken in a number of stray animals
with severe frostbite. Our sweet kitten
Miranda is one victim who lost part of her ear. We
are currently treating several other stray animals
who are suffering from frostbite including one adult
cat who completely lost both ears and her tail. Her
name is Missy-NaPhew (missing a few) body parts due
to the COLD weather.
Please provide shelter, warmth and care for your own
animals as they too can suffer from loss of body
parts and even their lives if not properly protected
and cared for. Prairie Paws is providing vet care
for these stay animals until they are back on their
way to recovery. Your donations to help these
innocent strays is appreciated.
Cold Weather
Tips
Brrrr…it’s cold
outside! The following guidelines will help you
protect your companion animals when the mercury
dips.
1. Keep your cat inside. Outdoors, felines can
freeze, become lost or be stolen, injured or killed.
Cats who are allowed to stray are exposed to
infectious diseases, including rabies, from other
cats, dogs and wildlife.
Please take a look
at this fellow, and see if you recognize him.
It's especially sad when an older guy such as this
gets misplaced.
Older Male Border
Collie found at the Game and Fish Department on
Monday 9/21. He is very friendly, older and is full
of burrs, sores and hair mats. If you are missing
this dog please contact Kaye
(701) 320-4553
MISSING!
Macho is Missing.
A 5 year old male
neutered Grey Shih-Tzu.
Missing from SE
Jamestown by the Gardenettes and last seen by
the Truck Plaza and Starlite Motel.
If you have information on
Macho, please call
(701) 269-2206 or
(701) 320-4553.
Macho was adopted from
Prairie Paws Rescue and the owner really misses
him.
Thank you,
Kaye John
