Prairie Paws Rescue: Jamestown, ND Animal Shelter: Adopt a Pet

"Poker for Paws " - Come Play with Us!!

Hi Everyone,

We desperately need more foster homes immediately since our area impounds are full and are going to start euthanasia. We are doing our best to save them, so if you can possibly foster an animal, please let us know as soon as possible.

A big THANKS to many people and organizations which help us care for our fur-friends!

Prairie Paws has been given a donation of a small building on private farm property to help house animals until foster homes, other rescues or animals can find homes. The volunteer construction work on this building was donated by the Tompkins Foundation group from the State Hospital.

Also, the "Cargill Cares" grant program provided the portable kennels and dogs houses to provide indoor/outdoor shelter for these dogs while they wait for foster homes.

For more details on adoption or how to foster these dogs, please email us at prairiepawsrescue@hotmail.com or call (701) 320-4553.

[Take a look at the Jamestown Sun article about this issue.]

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 Cassie Prescott!!

A bouquet fund raiser was sponsored by Don's House of Flowers in Jamestown. People from the community participated by making their own floral displays and then having people in the community vote on which one they liked the best. Voting consisted of money donations for a charity of the creator's choice.
Cassie Prescott chose Prairie Paws Rescue as her charity as she has a great passion for animals. Cassie won top honors and first place with her arrangement and raised almost $300 for the animals at Prairie Paws Rescue. Cassie presented the money to co-founder and president Kaye John. Quote from Kaye John..."I'm very proud of Cassie and her accomplishment of helping raise money for our rescue animals at Prairie Paws. Her love for animals will help our rescued pets in a big way".

Rescued dogs ready for adoption
By Kari Lucin - 11/19/2011
Jamestown Sun Article



          After six weeks of shots and chemical baths, Lady Bird has recovered from a severe case of mange and she is ready to be adopted. The slim, long-bodied dachshund has regrown her glossy brown coat since Prairie Paws Rescue saved her from a hoarder in early October. Now Lady Bird runs and plays like other dogs. She’s affectionate and tries to snuggle into people who pick her up, too. “These last couple of weeks really did the turnaround on her,” said Becky Johnson, one of the co-founders of Prairie Paws. Just five of the 19 dachshund and dachshund crossbreeds Prairie Paws rescued remain to be placed in permanent homes — Grant, Eliza, Florence, Lady Bird and Fillmore. More...

We hope to see you at our next

PAST EVENTS

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!

DOG WALK-A-THON

2007 - 2008 - 2009

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!

2008: The second annual "Paws in the Park" took place on Sunday, September 21, 2008, from 1-4pm at McElroy Park.

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.

Foster Homes Needed

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.

REQUEST FOR PHOTOS

Have you adopted a pet from Prairie Paws Rescue? We have had a successful year with over 160 adoptions. We are looking for "HAPPY TAILS" photos of the adopted pets. We would love to include your adopted pets' photos and any story you might have about them. Please email photo and information to : prairiepawsrescue@hotmail.com or send them to P.O. Box 1114; Jamestown, ND 58402-1114.

Please Adopt Us! We're Waiting for You...

Prairie Paws Rescue received a $500 grant from Petfinder, Maddie's Fund and the Petfinder Foundation!

Here's how it happened... We received an email about Jackson, one of our foster dogs, and their questions were answered in a timely manner. We gave them detailed information about Jackson and his potential adoption.

We were then notified that we had been contacted to see how we handled emails, customer service and information about our foster-based rescue. Maddie's Fund was impressed with the results of how we handled the information requested and gave us a grant for $500 for our rescue.

Thank you, Maddie's Fund, Petfinder, and the Petfinder Foundation! Take a look at their website and announcement below...

Put Your Best Face Forward

Maddie's Fund, Petfinder and the Petfinder Foundation are working together to ensure all adoption organizations are putting their best faces forward. We revived our 'Secret Adopter' program by reaching out across the US to shelters and rescues anonymously and awarding good customer service on-the-spot. Visit our Best Face Forward page for all the details.
