Donations...

Donations can be sent to: Prairie Paws Rescue, P.O. Box 1114, Jamestown, ND 58402. Did you know that we are all volunteers? No one is paid for their services, so all donations go directly to providing supplies and medical services for the animals. PPR has rescued from puppy mills, families surrendering their pets due to life changes and strays (locally and regionally) needing good homes. Our rescue group often works with dogs and cats on death row at many pounds, high kill shelters and cases where there is no room at the local shelters for them. Prairie Paws drives many miles to do what we can to get these animals into our care and give them a second chance. Your donation helps us place more animals in homes. Donations go toward medical cost of spaying/neutering, up to date shots, worming, tick and flea treatments and heartworm tests. Thank you again for the help and funds that you provide!

How You Can Help

If you would like to help an animal in the care of Prairie Paws Rescue, please contact us. You don't have to be a foster home to help. You can help by spreading the word about our group of rescuers, provide transportation, take animals to vet appointments, collect items for the pets like blankets, toys, puppy & kitten chow, pet carriers, dog and cat beds, and high quality food for proper nutrition. Also, cash donations are greatly appreciated to help with medical expenses like updated shots, wormer, and spaying and neutering costs. We want to ensure that the animals have a healthy start on a new life.

Volunteers are welcome!

April 4, 2008: Oprah Show about Puppy Mills

Oprah did a show on Friday April 4th in honor of her beloved dog Sophie who has since gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Her way of honoring Sophie was to get public awareness of the way animals are treated in puppy mills where 99% of the pet stores get their animals. It also highlighted pets in shelters who die in vast numbers because there are not enough suitable homes. Please check out this link and hopefully it will help save homeless animals in shelters and rescues and STOP the puppy mills and pet stores from the abusive conditions.

NEWS FROM THE PAST...
ARTICLE FROM JAMESTOWN SUN: Prairie Paws going to Iowa Jackie Hyra The Jamestown Sun - 06/21/2008 Volunteers from Prairie Paws Rescue and Central Dakota Humane Society, Mandan, will leave for Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at 2 p.m. Sunday to help with the rescue of pets that were separated from their owners by the catastrophic flooding in that state this week. Kay John, cofounder of Prairie Paws rescue, said hundreds of pets have been separated from their owners by the flood. John said volunteers are taking two vehicles and a horse trailer to haul supplies to a site that is being set up for people to come and search for missing pets. In order to maintain that site and keep it clean, the volunteers need donations of cleaning supplies, dog and cat crates, food bowls, milk replacer for kittens and puppies that have lost their mothers, collars, leashes and cat litter. Even empty Cool Whip containers would be useful. John said monetary donations to help pay for gas would also be greatly appreciated. The volunteers are also paying for their own food and lodging. “Have peanut butter and bread, will travel,” she said. Donations can be left at Tractor Supply Company, Country Acres Veterinary Clinic, Highway 281 South, and KQDJ Radio, 2625 Eighth Ave. S.W., near Grizzly’s Grill N’ Saloon. For more information, call John at 320-4553. Sun reporter Jackie Hyra can be reached at (701) 952-8455 or by e-mail at jackieh@jamestownsun.com
