BENJI & SWEETIE

THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF US!!

More about: BENJI and SWEETIE ...

A Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction was held Friday, February 15 in Jamestown to raise funds for medical expenses for Benji, Sweetie and the other pets in our care. The tables were decorated with heart-shaped pictures of past and current foster pets and Hershey Kiss thank you party favors and centerpieces. Throughout the evening, pictures of our foster pets were projected on the banquet room wall. T J's Catering prepared a delicious roast beef dinner. The dinner was a sell-out with 100 tickets sold. Volunteers from Students of Service from Jamestown College and Key Club members from Jamestown Public Schools assisted at the event. Cheryl McIntyre's singers provided entertainment and Jim Nyland served as M.C. for the night. Over 56 items were available in the silent auction and there were several raffle items. Tremendous support for the event was provided by the businesses and individuals who donated items and by the individuals who purchased dinner tickets and participated in the auctions and raffles. Over $2,000 was raised for our pets!

Thank you from Benji, Sweetie and the other PPR pets who will benefit from your generous donations! More Pictures Coming Soon...


	Robert won the State Wrestling title for Jamestown, and we named one our cats after him. He was kind enough to come to the Meet and Greet and be photographed with his namesake.	Lucas Krueger and Krueger the cat met at the Movie Gallery Meet and Greet. Lucas thought it was pretty cool to have a cat named after him. Lucas also won the State Wrestling title in his division.

News Alert!

We now have homes for many of the 24 dogs from a puppy mill who came to ND for a new chance at a good life. Breeds like westies, affenpinschers, terriers, schnauzers, cavaliers, toy fox terriers, jack russels, shih tzu's, a young golden retriever and more. Ages of these dogs range from 9 weeks to 10 years young. Check out the stories on each pet page at Petfinder.

3/3/08 Prairie Paws has assisted in two huge rescues this week.

We got some dogs via a Devils Lake city law that people in trailer parks can only have one dog. This lady had 20+. We got 4 of them and will put pictures on Petfinder when they are healthy and groomed. (Angel, one of the dogs, is already posted).

Also our group went to Bismarck today to assist with 72 chihuahuas in a home where law enforcement took action as the breeder was not cooperating with requirements, health issues, etc. We're not sure how many we are bringing back, but they will be quarantined until we know their status.

3/3/08 See the article in the Bismarck Tribune about our rescue.

WELCOME!

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 Girl Scout Troup #98!!

	These girls made up a donation box for Prairie Paws Rescue. The donation box is located at the Jamestown TSC store during Prairie Paws events. There is a wish list of items needed to help the foster animals in the care of Prairie Paws.

PAWS IN THE PARK...

DOG WALK-A-THON

Prairie Paws Rescue wants to thank everyone who came to our Dog Walk-A-Thon on Sunday. You are simply GRRRRReat!!

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 again to everyone who participated, and... look forward to another Paws in the Park Dog Walk-A-Thon next year!

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. Now she helps with the rescue pets at Prairie Paws by helping drive animals during transports. She also helps foster some of the animals until permanent homes can be found.
